Question

The ratio of the total volume of water delivered to a crop to the area on which it has been spread is called:

• A. {Critical depth}
• B. {Duty}
• C. {Delta}
• D. {Crop-water depth}

Hint:

In irrigation, "Duty" represents how efficiently water is used to produce crops.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: The term "Duty" refers to the volume of water required to irrigate a specific area of the crop. Step 2: It is expressed as the total volume of water per unit area over the entire crop-growing period. Thus, the correct answer is Duty.
