    Solution

    Irrigation efficiency = water that reached the field/ total water delivered ├Ч 100┬а Total field area = 0.6 + 0.6 ha = 1.2 ha┬а Depth of water = 8 cm┬а Total volume of water reached the field = 1.2 ├Ч 10,000 ├Ч 0.08 = 960 m3┬а 1 m3 = 1000l┬а 960 m3 = 9,60,000 l┬а Total water delivered in the field = 2000 ├Ч 60├Ч 15 l┬а Irrigation efficiency =┬а 9,60,000 l / 2000 ├Ч 60├Ч 15 l┬а = 53.3 %
