Answer 2

The ratio between the area of a crop irrigated and the quantity of water required during its entire period of growth is known as "Duty".

• The duty can be defined as the land irrigated in the number of hectares by unit cumec of supply of water continuously during the complete base period of that particular crop, for full crop growth.
• The duty of canal water is given by the following relation. $D=\frac{land \hspace{3} area \hspace{3} being \hspace{3} irrigated}{rate \hspace{3} of \hspace{3} water\hspace{3} supply}$ or, $D=\frac{A}{Q}.$
• The unit for measuring Duty is hectares/cumec that is, ha/cumec.
