The moisture content of the soil when the gravitational water has been removed. a. Available water c. Permanent wilting point b. Field capacity y d. Readily available moisture 3. Twelve thousand five hundred Bic meters of water was delivered to a 10 ha farm for the month of June in which consumptive use is estimated at 8 mm/day. The effective rainfall for the period was 150 mm. What is the irrigation efficiency? a. 32% c. 72% b. 87% d. 52% Effective Rainfall, ER = 0.15m x 10 ha x 10,000 m*/ha = 15,000 m? Consumptive Use, CU = (.008 m/day) x 30 days x 10 x 10,000 m? = 24,000 ms Irrigation Efficiency, E, = (CU — ER)/W, = (24,000 — 15,000)/12,500 = 72% 4. These are pipelines built on or x. the ground surface to convey water across wide depressions. a. Inverted siphons c. laterais b. Siphons d. flumes Evapotranspiration in an 8 ha f is 7 mm/day and percolation losses is 2 mm/day. What is the design discharge of a canal to be able to d er a 5-day requirement of the farm in 24 hours if irrigation efficiency is 75%? a. 150 m%/hr c. 175 m3/hr b. 200 m?/hr d. 140 m%/hr Q = (Ad)/t = (8x10,000 m2)x(7+2 mm/day)(1m/1000mm (5 days) 24 hrs x .75 = 200 m°/hr 6. Subsurface drain system where both sides alternately. jaterals join the submain on a. Gridiron c. Parallel drain system b. Herringbone d. Double main system 6. Subsurface drain system whereliiiflaterals join the submain on both sides alternately. a. Gridiron c. Parallel drain system b. Herringbone d. Double main system 7. How much water should be applied to a 6 ha farm where the rooting depth is 80 cm if it is in its permanent wilting point? Volumetric moisture contents are 0.15 and 0.32 for permanent wilting point and field capacity, respectively. a. 7,200 m? c. 15,360 ms b. 6,120 m$ d. 8,160 m? Vol. = (FC — PWP)(D)(A) = (.32 - .15)(.8m)(60,000 m2) = 8,160 ms satin ot . - 7.5 mm/day = 9.5 days or 9 days 25. What is the depth of water in a pezoidal channel with a side slope of 2 and carrying a 3.2 m*/s water flow? The channel's bottom width is 1.5 meters and the flowing water has a velocity of 0.85 m/s a. 1.80m c. 1.05m b. 1.79m d. 1.04m Q=AV or A=Q/V = (3.2 m%/s)/(0.85 m/s) = 3.765 m2 a d NX Ay z=HV +N A tb 4 3.765 = (1.5)d + 2d? Ifd = 1.05, then 3.765 = (1.5)(1.05) + (2)(1.05¥ 3.765 = 1.575 + 2.205 = 3.78 If d = 1.04, then 3.765 = 3.7232 A= bd + zd2 26.The localized lowering of the static or piezometric water level due to pumping a.
