Outlet discharge from kor table (rice, wheat)
Short answer
Rice: Q = (5×10⁷ ×0.19)/(18×86400) = 6.11 cumec. Wheat: Q = (3.5×10⁷ ×0.15)/(26×86400) = 2.34 cumec. Crops are in different seasons, so design discharge = 6.11 cumec (the larger).
Calculate the discharge required at the outlet for wheat and rice crop using following data.
| Crop | command area (Ha) | kor period | kor depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 5000 | 18 | 19 |
| Wheat | 3500 | 26 | 15 |
Assumption: kor period is in days and kor depth in cm.
Formula:
Rice: ha m, days, cm m
Wheat: ha m, days, cm m
Rice (kharif) and wheat (rabi) are grown in different seasons, so the outlet is designed for the larger value.
Answer: rice needs 6.11 cumec and wheat needs 2.34 cumec; design discharge = 6.11 cumec. (If both were irrigated together, the sum would be 8.45 cumec.)
