Test: Duty and Delta of a Crop - Question 2

Find the delta for a crop if the duty for a base period of 110 days is 1400 hectares/cumec.

Detailed Solution for Test: Duty and Delta of a Crop - Question 2

Duty: It is the number of hectares of land irrigated for full growth of a given crop by a supply of 1 cumec of water continuously during the entire base period of that crop.
Delta: The total water depth required by a crop to attain its full maturity in its base period.
Base Period: The time period that elapsed for the instant of the showing of crop to the instant of its harvesting is called base period or crop period.
The relation between Duty (D), Delta (Δ) and Base period (B) is given as:

Calculation:
Given data,
B = 110 days
D = 1400 hectares/cumec
Hence, the delta for a crop

Δ = 0.678 m = 68 cm

The delta of a crop is 0.864 m and the base period is 130 days. What is the duty of the crop (in hectares/cumec)?

Detailed Solution for Test: Duty and Delta of a Crop - Question 3

Duty: It is the number of hectares of land irrigated for full growth of a given crop by a supply of 1 cumec of water continuously during the entire base period of that crop.
Delta: The total water depth required by a crop to attain its full maturity in its base period.
Base Period: The time period that elapsed for the instant of the showing of crop to the instant of its harvesting is called base period or crop period.
The relation between Duty in hectares/cumec (D), Delta in meter (Δ) and Base period in days (B) is given as:

Calculation:
Given data,
B = 130 days
Δ = 0.864 m
Hence, the delta for a crop

D = 1300 hectares/cumec
