Consumptive use

Q.1. For an area in South India (latitude = 12° N), the mean monthly temperatures are given:
Month June July Aug Sep Oct
Temp (°C) 31.5 31.0 30.0 29.0 28.0

Calculate the seasonal consumptive use of water for the rice crop in the season June 16 to October
15, by using the Blaney–Criddle formula.
Q.2. Estimate the PET of an area for the season November to February in which wheat is grown.
The area is in North India at a latitude of 30° N with mean monthly temperatures as below:
Month Nov Dec Jan Feb
Temp (°C) 16.5 13.0 11.0 14.5

Use the Blaney–Criddle formula.


Q.3. A class A pan was set up adjacent to a lake. The depth of water in the pan at the beginning of
a certain week was 195 mm. In that week there was a rainfall of 45 mm and 15 mm of water was
removed from the pan to keep the water level within the specified depth range. If the depth of the
water in the pan at the end of the week was 190 mm calculate the pan evaporation. Using a suitable
pan coefficient estimate the lake evaporation in that week.
Q.4. Compute daily evaporation from a Class A pan if the daily rainfall and the amount of water
added to bring the water level in the pan to the fixed point are as follows:
Day 1 2 3 4 5 6
Rainfall (cm) 0 0.5 0.1 0 0 0.4
Water added (cm) 1.5 1.7 0.5 1.2 0.7 1.3

Q.5. Compute the consumptive use of rice for the month of January using Penman's formula.
Following data available at the field were collected and listed below. You may assume if you need
any other data.
i. Latitude of place: 20N
ii. Mean monthly temperature: 15°C
iii. Relative humidity in January: 50%
iv. Elevation of area: 250 m
v. Wind velocity at 2 m height: 25 km/day
Q.6. Calculate the potential evapotranspiration from an area near New Delhi in the month of
November by Penman’s formula. The following data are available:
i. Latitude : 28°4’N
ii. Elevation : 230 m (above sea level)
iii. Mean monthly temperature : 19°C
iv. Mean relative humidity : 75%
v. Mean observed sunshine hours : 9 h
vi. Wind velocity at 2 m height : 85 km/day
vii. Nature of surface cover : Close-ground green crop
