Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A field has a crop with a water depth requirement (Δ) of 0.6 meters and irrigation is to occur over 20 days. Calculate the duty (D) if the total area to be irrigated is 15 hectares.

💡 Hint: Break the calculations step by step.

Question 2

A canal system needs to estimate its output using historical project data, which indicates a typical duty of 100 hectares per cumec. If a farmer wants to irrigate 25 hectares, how much discharge does he need?

💡 Hint: Think about the conversion factor and how duty works.
