The total volume of irrigation water required for a particular type of crop to mature is known as Correct Answer Duty of water

The correct answer is Duty of water.

  • Duty of water is the form of expression for the quantity of water required for irrigation to bring a crop to maturity.
  • It gives a relation between the volume of water and the area of the crops that are harvested.
  • It includes consumptive use, evaporation and seepage from ditches and canals and the water eventually returned to streams by percolation and surface runoff.

1996-7 and 2002-3, the area under canal irrigation declined by 2.4 million ha (13.8 percent), the area under tank irrigation fell by 1.4 million ha (42.4 percent), and the area irrigate by all other sources declined by 1 million ha (28 percent). The only irrigation source that increased its share was groundwater wells, by 2.8 million ha (more than 9 percent) Why has such a change in irrigation demands happened? 1. Not enough supply of water from canals 2. More tubewell irrigation by farmers in the source areas of rivers 3. High cost of irrigation water, and  diversion for non-farm use 4. Joint use of water not possible due to social and economic inequalities
Consider the following statements in connection with soil-water-crop relationship: 1. Water utilization by plants is mainly from capillary water. 2. The amount of irrigation water required to meet the evapotranspiration needs of the crop during its full growth duration is its consumptive irrigation requirement. 3. The depth of water required to bring the soil-moisture level of a given soil up to its field capacity is called hygroscopic water. 4. With continuous increase in quantity of water applied, the yield of most crops increases up to a certain limit and then is expected to be constant. Which of the above statements are correct?
Which of the following statements are correct? (a) Low head bubbler irrigation is a modified method of sprinkler irrigation. (b) Micro spray irrigation is a modified method of sprinkler irrigation. (c) Water application efficiency is usually higher in clayey soils than sandy soils. (d) In sprinkler irrigation system water is applied at lower rates than soils in filterability to prevent ponding and surface run off.
