For a particular soil, moisture at field capacity is 29% (w/w) and irrigation is to be applied at a moisture content of 19% (w/w). The apparent specific gravity is 1.30 and depth of the soil to be wetted is 1 m. Determine- (i) hectare-cm of water per hectare of land; (ii) time required to irrigate 10 hectares of land with a 0.10 m³/sec stream, if the efficiency of irrigation application is 75%.
