Question:medium
An area of 0.6 ha each of wheat and maize is irrigated daily with a discharge of 2000 litre per minute for a period of 15 hours. Each crop receives 8 cm of water. Determine efficiency (%) of irrigation system
An area of 0.6 ha each of wheat and maize is irrigated daily with a discharge of 2000 litre per minute for a period of 15 hours. Each crop receives 8 cm of water. Determine efficiency (%) of irrigation system
Show Hint
Always convert all physical units to the standard SI system (meters and cubic meters) before performing calculations:
- \( 1 \text{ ha} = 10,000 \text{ m}^2 \)
- \( 1 \text{ litre} = 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3 \)
- \( 1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes} \)
- \( 1 \text{ ha} = 10,000 \text{ m}^2 \)
- \( 1 \text{ litre} = 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3 \)
- \( 1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes} \)
