Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A river supplies 8 cumecs of water. If the Duty is 10 hectares/cumec, how many hectares can be irrigated? Next, if a crop's Base Period is 50 days, calculate the Delta.

💡 Hint: First calculate the irrigable area, then compute the Delta.

Question 2

A field requires 60 mm of water (Delta) for a Base Period of 20 days. What is the Duty for the crop? Use the formula Δ = (8.64 × B) / D to find D.

💡 Hint: Focus on the rearranging part of gathering the right values.
