A farmer cultivates 2 hectares of rice. The water requirement of rice is 1,200 mm per season. Calculate the total volume of water in cubic metres required for this crop for one season.

Step-by-step solution

1. Convert hectares to square metres: $2\text{hectares}=20,000{\text{m}}^2$
2. Convert water depth from mm to metres: $1,200\text{mm}=1.2\text{m}$
3. Calculate volume: $20,000{\text{m}}^2\times 1.2\text{m}=24,000{\text{m}}^3$
