Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A new irrigation project plans to use 12 cumecs to irrigate 40,000 hectares. Calculate the expected Duty and if the base period lasts 140 days, find Delta.

💡 Hint: Use the formulas D = A/Q for Duty and Δ = 8.64 × B / D for Delta.

Question 2

Considering the implications of soil type on Duty, how would sandy soil compared to clay soil affect Duty and water management strategies?

💡 Hint: Think about how soil composition changes water retention and loss.
