Question

The consumptive use requirements of a crop are 0.3cm per day 1 to 15; 0.4 cm per day for days 16 to 40; 0.6cm per day for days 41 to 50 and 0.2cm per day for days 51 to 55. Effective rainfall of 3.5cm, distributed uniformly during the 36th and 45th days (both inclusive) is predicted. Compute the total quantity of water (in cu. M) to be delivered to a 60 hectares plot for the whole crop season with a pre-
sowing requirement of 5cm of water.
