 AREA CALCULATIONS

• GCA = 8.5 x 7.8 km

• GCA = 66.3 km2 = 16376.1 acres

• NCCA = NCCA 1 + NCCA 2 + NCCA 3

• NCCA = (1.85 x 1.2) + (1.75 x 1) + (1.3 x 1.32)

• NCCA = 5.7 km2 = 1407.9

• Culturable Command Area = CCA = GCA – NCCA = 16376.1-1407.9 = 14968.2

 DESIGN DISCHARGE CALCULATION

• QK = Kharif Discharge

• QK = ∑VK / Rabi Period (cfs)

• QR = Rabi Discharge

• QR = ∑VR / Rabi Period (cfs)

• Design Discharge = QD = Larger of QK & QR (cusecs)

 DESIGN DISCHARGE CALCULATION

• QR = 18532.15 x 43560 / (365 x 24 x 3600 /2)

• QR = 51.2 cusec

• QK = 39416.26 x 43560 / (365 x 24 x 3600 /2)

• QK = 108.88 cusec

• QD = 108.88 cusec

IRRIGATION ENGINEERING 11
 Water Allowance

• WATER ALLOWANCE CALCULATION

• No. of cusecs required to irrigate 1000 acres.

• Water Allowance (WA) = QD x 1000 / CCA (cusecs/1000 acres)

• WA = QD x 1000 / CCA

• WA = 7.274 cusecs

IRRIGATION ENGINEERING 12
 COMMAND AREA OF OUTLET

• OUTLET COMMAND AREA

• Generally the outlets used have QOUTLET = 2-3 cusecs

• QOUTLET = WA x CCA / 1000

• Qout = 3 cusecs

• Command Area of one Outlet = Qout x 1000 / WA

• Command Area = 412.38 acres

IRRIGATION ENGINEERING 13
 MINIMUM NUMBER OF OUTLETS

• NO OF OUTLETS
• Minimum number of outlets required to irrigate the whole CCA =
CCA / CCA of Outlet
• Minimum Number of Outlets = Total CCA / Command area Outlet
• Minimum Number of Outlets = 14968.2 / 412.38 = 36.3 say (36)
