Consumptive Irrigation Requirement (CIR), if Cu is consumptive use and Re is effective rainfall, is given by
Irrigation EngineeringIrrigation EngineeringMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
CIR = Cu - Re
B
CIR = Cu + 1.5Re
C
CIR = Cu + Re
D
CIR = Cu - Re + water lost as per colation
Correct Answer
A. CIR = Cu - Re
Why is this the answer?
Consumptive Irrigation Requirement (CIR) is defined as the amount of irrigation water required to meet the consumptive use of the crop, excluding the contribution from effective rainfall. Thus, CIR = Cu - Re.
