Maximum area that can-be irrigated is-given-by-eqn:(1:2) as OSES
Example 1.1. Determine the time required to irrigate a strip of land of 0.04 hectares
in area froma tube-well with a discharge of 0.02 cumec, The infileration capacity of the
sotl may be taken as 5 cm/hr, and the average depth of flow on the field as 10 cm.
Also determine the maximum area that can be irrigated from this tube well.

water is controlled by surrounding the check area with low and flat levees. Levees aneExample 1.1, (a) What is the classification of irrigation water having the following °
characteristics : Concentration of Na, Ca and Mg are 22, 3 and 1.5 milli-equiavalents
per litre respectively, and the electrical conductivity is 200 micro mhos per em at
25°C*? (b) What problems might arise in using this water on fine textured soils ? (c)
What remedies do you suggest to overcome this trouble ?

If SAR is between 10 to 18, then it is classified as medium Sodium water and is
represented by $2 (See Table 1.2). ae
Electrical conductivity is 200 micro-inhos per-cm at 25°C. ©
According to Table 1.1, the water is called of Low conductivity (C1) if the value
of electrical conductivity is between 100 to 250 micro mhos per cm at 25°C. It is,
therefore, Cl water.
Hence, the given water is classified as C1-S2 water, Ans.
(6) In fine-textured soils, the medium sodium (S2) water may create the following
Problems :
(i) Soil becomes less permeable.
Gi) Ie starts crusting when dry.
(ii) It becomes plastic and sticky when wet.
(i) Its pH increases towards that of alkaline soil:
(c) Gypsum (CaSQ,) addition, either to soil or to water is suggested to overcome
sodium hazards posed by the given water.

Souse,Example 3.1. The gross commanded area for a distributary is 6000 hectares, 80%
which is culrurable irrigable, The intensity of irrigation for Rabi season is 50% and
that for Kharif season is 25%. if the average duty at the head of the distributary is 2000

Thus, the requirement in Kharif season is 1,33 cumec and that in Rabi season is
1.20 cumecs, The required discharge is maximum of the two, £2, 1.33 cumec. Ans.
Hence, the distributary should be designed for 1.33 cumec discharge at its head,
from average demand considerations, The head regulator should be sufficient to carry
1.33 cumec ; and in Rabi season, only 1.20 cumec will be released.Example 2.5. 10 cumecs of water is delivered to a 32 hectare field, for 4 hours,
Soil probing after the irrigation indicates that 0.3 metre of water has been stored in the
