A field channel has cultivable commanded area of 2000 hectares. The intensities of irrigation for gram and wheat are 30% and 50% respectively. Gram has a kor period of 18 days, kor depth of 12 cm, while wheat has a kor period of 18 days and a kor depth of 15 cm. The discharge (in m³/s) required in the field channel to supply water to the commanded area during the kor period is ____
-
- 0.57 m³/s
- 1.427 m³/s
- 2 m³/s
- 2.5 m³/s
Correct Option: B
1.427
| Q = | ||
| D |
| Duty, D = 8.64 | ||

B – kor period (days)
Δ – kor depth (m)
