(b) The tertiary system is managed by farmers

(c) The distribution of water managed by farmers is done on a seven-day rotation basis

(d) Water allowance is not a compromise between the likely demand and the supply for a given project

This question was posed to me at a job interview.

The question is from Canal Regulation in chapter Canal Irrigation System of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) Water allowance is not a compromise between the likely demand and the supply for a given project

To elaborate: The value of water allowance decides the carrying capacities of the water-courses and the distributaries. Hence, it is generally a compromise between the likely demand and the supply for a given project.
