As per Kennedy’s
Critical velocity, V0 = 0.55 my0.64
m = critical velocity ratio = 0.90
y = depth of flow = 1.2 m
∴ V0 = 0.55 × 0.9 × (1.2)0.64 = 0.556 m/sec
Also, discharge through channel, Q = 4 m3/sec

21. (b)
Intensity of irrigation for kharif = 100 – 65 = 35%
Intensity of irrigation for rabi = 100 – 50 = 50%
∴ Annual intensity of irrigation = sum of seasonal intensity of irrigation in a year

RAMC = 0.8 (FC – PWP)

Available

PWP = 9%

d = depth of root zone = 75 cm

Cu per day = 1.58 cm/day
∴ RAMC = Readily available depth of water

29. (d)
Modular limits are extreme values of any one or more variables, beyond which an outlet becomes
incapable of acting as a module or semi-module. The range between the lowest and highest
limiting values of various such factors is known as modular range.
Modular limit is not a ratio.
