Q: Read the given statements about crop water requirement and select the correct option. Statement 1: Duty will be less for a crop requiring more water. Statement 2: The water lost due to percolation will be more and hence the duty will be more.
  • A. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true
  • B. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true
  • C. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false
  • D. Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false
Correct Answer: Option D - Duty–It is expressed in hectare per cumec. It is the area of land in hectares that can be irrigated when one cumec of water is supplied throughout entire base period. • When requirement of water is more than duty will be less. • In percolation requirement of water for crops is more. So, duty will be less.
