Q: Annual ___________ is the ratio of cultivable irrigation area irrigate during the year to the total CCA.
  • A. cultivation
  • B. rainfall
  • C. intensity
  • D. precipitation
Correct Answer: Option C - Intensity of Irrigation– • It is ratio of the area irrigated during the entire year (i.e gross irrigated area) to the to total C.C.A (cultivable commanded area) expressed in percentage. • If the intensity is more, more area is under cultivation hence water requirement is more. • Annual irrigation intensity can be greater than 100%.
