Civil Engineering MCQAE Level Civil Engineering
The field irrigation requirement (FIR) for a crop is related to consumptive use (CU), effective rainfall (ER), and soil moisture change (SM) by:
Irrigation EngineeringCrop Water RequirementMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
FIR = CU - ER - SM
B
FIR = CU + ER + SM
C
FIR = CU x ER / SM
D
FIR = ER - CU + SM
Correct Answer
A. FIR = CU - ER - SM
Why is this the answer?
Net Irrigation Requirement (NIR) = CU - ER - SM_contribution. FIR is typically equal to NIR when considering field application efficiency. The original option A had a sign error in the explanation/formula.
