8. Availability of good quality canal water in the wet and dry seasons. The availability of irrigation water is an important factor affecting land and water capability. Ideally, we would like to know how frequently irrigation water is available (number of times in season) and the amount of water (minutes of flow) that is generally provided. Knowing the area of the farm (Question 3), we can then estimate water availability.
Dry Season - Rabi
Insert Number here
Canal water is available for irrigation on (INSERT NUMBER) occasions in the Rabi season
A typical irrigation event lasts INSERT NUMBER minutes/ hours.
Rabi crops actually need INSERT NUMBER of minutes/ hours of canal irrigation to grow well.
Monsoon Season - Kharif
Insert Number here
Canal water is available for irrigation on (INSERT NUMBER) occasions in the Rabi season
A typical irrigation event lasts INSERT NUMBER minutes/ hours.
Kharif crops actually need INSERT NUMBER of minutes/ hours of canal irrigation to grow well.
9. Is ground water available for irrigation?
Wet Season - Kharif?
Yes
No
Dry Season - Rabi?
Yes
No
