The intensity of irrigation is calculated as the total area irrigated in all crops in a year expressed as a percentage of the total cultivable command area.
For this calculation, it's important to note that if an area is used multiple times a year for separate crops it's counted each time (Thus it is possible to have irrigation intensities more than 100%).
Assuming this is the only crop, the intensity of irrigation for Rabi crop in this specific scenario would be:
= [100 hectares (Area under Rabi crop) / 150 hectares (Cultivable command area)] × 100
= 66.67%
So, in this case, the intensity of irrigation of the Rabi crop is 66.67%.
