Question 1

What is the formula for Duty?

  • Area / Discharge
  • Discharge / Area
  • Area × Discharge

💡 Hint: Think about how we determine the area per unit of water.

Question 2

True or False: Increasing Duty decreases the water requirement (Delta) for crops.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between the two concepts.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If an irrigation system has a duty of 12 hectares/cumec and a base period of 20 days, calculate the required Delta. How might this information influence planning for the agricultural season?

💡 Hint: Use the formula for Delta to find the answer.

Question 2

Assuming a duty reduction to 6 hectares/cumec while the base period remains at 25 days, what will be the new Delta needed? Discuss the potential consequences on crop yield.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to the irrigation needs when Duty is altered significantly.
