A border irrigation system is on a clay soil with a 1:150 gradient. The dimensions of the individual border are 200m long 2m wide border Assume the resistance to flow from the crop to be high (n value =0.15).
a. What should the stream size and cut off time be in order to uniformly apply a Gross Application of 20mm?
(4 marks)
b. If you later learn that the maximum flow that can be supplied from the water source is 80m3*hr-1, what options do you have to achieve an application that is close to the Gross Application target of 20mm, while maintaining a Distribution Uniformity of 80% or higher?
