A 10-hectare rice land is to be irrigated at the peak water requirement of 10 mm/day. The source of water is pump from a river with outlet discharge directly to the irrigation canal. If the pump operates at 10 hours per day, what should be the capacity of the pump? What should be the size of engine if the total dynamic head is 10 meters. Assume pump efficiency to be 80 percent and engine to be 75 percent.
