Irrigation requirement of 90 days duration maize variety is 50 cm. How much area can be irrigated with a flow rate of 20 litre per second for 8 hours in a day.
Show Hint
Remember the standard conversion factor:
A flow rate of \( 1 \text{ lps} \) operating continuously for \( 24 \text{ hours} \) supplies approximately \( 64 \text{ ha-cm} \) of water.
Adjusting this for \( 8 \text{ hours} \) of operation yields \( 88 \text{ ha-cm} \) of water per day.
