1. A water course commands an irrigated area 100 hectares.

irrigation rice in this area is 70%.the transplantation of rice crop takes 15 days and
during transplantation period total depth of water required by the crop on the field
is 500mm.during the transplantation period, the useful rain falling on the field is
120mm.find the duty of irrigation water for crop on the field during transplantation
at the head of the field of the water course assuming loss of water to be 20% in the
water course. Also calculate the discharge required in water course.

2. A one day rain fall of 15cm at a place X was found to have a return period of 100
years. calculate the probability that one day rainfall of this or larger magnitude.
A) Will not occur at X during next 50 years,
b) Will occur 3 times in next 50 years.

9. The following are the data obtained in a stream gauging operation. A current
meter with a calibration equation V=0.32N+0.032m/s, where N=revolutions per
second was used to measure the velocity at 0.6 depth. Using the mid-section
methods, calculate the discharge in the stream.

14. Calculate the design discharge of canal at 0, 1, 2 and 3 km from headwork.

The gross commanded area at the head of canal is 60000 hectares and after each
km it is reduced by 10000 hectors. Of this command, the cultivated area is only
75%. The intensity of irrigation for Ravi and Kharif season is 35% and 18%
respectively. Assume total losses below 3 km=0.5 cumec. Channel losses per km =
3% of discharge at the beginning of each km, kor period Ravi(wheat) and
Kharif(rice) is 4 and 2.5 weeks respectively. Kor depth for Ravi and Kharif is 14 and
20 cm respectively.
