  2. A.

     In free flooding irrigation, water is admitted at one corner of a field and is allowed to spread over the entire area

    B.

     In check method of irrigation, the field is divided into smaller compartments and water is admitted to each in turn

    C.

     In furrow irrigation water is admitted between the rows of plants in the field

    D.

     None of these


  3. A deficit of sediments in flowing water may cause a river

  5. Which one of the following statements is correct?

  6. A.

     The canal system and the drainage system are complementary

    B.

     The canal system runs on ridges, gets divided into smaller channels and spreads its water on the land

    C.

     The drainage system runs along the lowest line, collects drainage water from the slopes and joins the main stream

    D.

     All the above


  7. Cyclonic precipitation is caused by lifting of an air mass due to

  8. A.

  9. If the height of the hydraulic gradient line above the floor of thickness t is h and the specific gravity of the material of the floor is G, the minimum thickness t of the floor downstream of the crest-wall, is given by the equation

  10. A.

     t = (h + 1)/(G + t)

    B.

     t = (h - 1)/(G + t)

    C.

     t = (h - 1)/(G - t)

    C.

     To overflow excessive flow water

    D.

     None of these


  19. Process of meandering is due to

  20. A.
