(a) Gross Commanded Area (G.C.A)

(b) Culturable Commanded Area (C.C.A)

The question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

This key question is from Water Requirements topic in portion Water Requirements of Crops of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Gross Commanded Area (G.C.A)

The explanation is: Gross Commanded Area (G.C.A) is the sum of Culturable Commanded Area (C.C.A) and unculturable area. Again Culturable Commanded Area (C.C.A) is divided into the sum of culturable cultivated and culturable uncultivated areas. Therefore, Gross Commanded Area (G.C.A) is a large quantity.
