Answer 2

Total depth of water required by a crop during the entire period of the crop is in the field is known as delta.

Delta definition:

"Delta is defined as the total quantity and the mode of water required for a crop from the time it is sown to the time it is harvested". It is measured in cm.

Water requirement of the crops:

• Water requirement for an agricultural crop varies based on the variety of the crop and the type of land it is cultivated. This also means that a same crop may require different water levels in different lands of cultivation.
• Every crop requires a particular amount of water in regular time intervals. This time interval is named as 'frequency of irrigation' or 'rotation period'. The normal range of this rotation period is 6-15 days.
• If the demand of the water requirement is aided by the rainfall then irrigation is not required. If not met by the rainfall then irrigation is provided to meet the water requirement of the crop

The normal range of water requirement for agricultural crops ranges from 5-10cm. Sugarcane is the most water required crop and its required water level is 120cm.
