    Explain benefits and ill effects of irrigation. 3. What are the different forms of soil-water? Explain Field capacity, Permanent wilting point and Readily available moisture. 4. Describe with the help of sketch various forms of soil moisture. 5. Calculate the depth of available soil moisture in the root zone of the clay-loam type of soil using following data: a. Field capacity = 27% b. Permanent wilting point = 13% c. Dry density of soil = 1.5 g/cm3 d. Root zone depth = 1.25m 6. Explain crop rotation, Root-zone depth, Kor period and Kor watering, Wilting co-efficient and field capacity. 7. Define: GCA, CCA, Intensity of irrigation, Duty and Delta. 8. Explain various factors affecting Duty. 9. How duty can be improved? 10. What do you understand by consumptive use of water? How it is different from evapotranspiration. 11. What are the factors affecting irrigation water requirement of a crop? 12. Explain various irrigation efficiencies. 13. Discuss various methods of assessment of irrigation water. 14. An irrigation channel runs for 125 days in a season when wheat is grown, total depth of water is found to be 38cm. Find the duty of irrigation channel water. 15. For a distributor the GCA is 500 Ha., CCA is 80% of GCA, the intensity of irrigation is 30% for wheat and 12% for rice. If the kor period is 3 weeks for the former and 2weeks for the latter, neglecting the losses, determine the outlet discharge. Assume suitable depths for kor watering. 16. What are principal rabi & kharif crops of India? Mention their time of sowing, harvesting, water requirement & number of watering required in general. 17.
