Correct Answer - Option 2 : 0.67
Concept:
Capacity Factor:
a) The capacity factor of a canal is the duty based on the discharge at the canal headworks.
b) The capacity factor is defined as the ratio of mean supply discharge in a canal during a period to its design full capacity.
Capacity Factor of the canal = \(\frac{Average \ supply \ discharge}{Full \ supply \ discharge}\)
Calculation:
Given Data:
Full supply discharge = 60 cumec
Average supply discharge = 40 cumec
Capacity Factor of the canal = \(\frac{Average \ supply \ discharge}{Full \ supply \ discharge}\)
Capacity Factor of the canal = 40/60
Capacity Factor of the canal = 0.666
Capacity Factor of the canal = 0.67
Time Factor: It is the ratio of the number of days the canal actually runs during a watering period to the total number of days of the watering period.
Outlet Discharge Factor: The outlet discharge factor is the duty of water of a crop at the outlet of the canal.
