Question

The discharge required for Rabi and Kharif crops are $0.4m^3/s$ and $0.3m^3/s$ respectively. The capacity and time factors are 0.8 and 0.5 respectively at each season. The design discharge of the distributary at its head is

• A. $0.8m^3/s$
• B. $0.16m^3/s$
• C. $1.0m^3/s$
• D. $1.24m^3/s$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $1.0m^3/s$

Design discharge,

$=\frac{\text{max. of discharge required for rabi and kharif crop}}{\text{time factor}\times \text{capacity factor}}$

$=\frac{0.4}{0.5\times 0.8}=1m^3/s$
