  1. For standing crops in undulating sandy fields, the best method of irrigation, is

  2. A.

     Sprinkler irrigation

    B.

     Free flooding

    C.

     Check method

    D.

     Furrow method


  3. The unit hydrograph due to a storm may be obtained by dividing the ordinates of the direct runoff hydrograph by

  4. A.

     direct runoff volume

    B.

     period of storm

    C.

     total rainfall

    D.

     none of the above


  5. The saturation line is the line up to which banks get saturated after the canal runs for some time. The saturation gradient in ordinary loam soil, is generally

  6. A.

     2 : 1

    B.

     3 : 1

    C.

     4 : 1

    D.

     5 : 1


  7. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  8. A.

     If the flexibility is more than one, the outlet is hyper-proportional

    B.

     If the setting of an outlet is higher than that required for proportionality, the outlet is hyper-proportional

    C.

     If the flexibility is zero, it is a rigid module

    D.

     All the above


  9. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  10. A.

     The full supply level of a canal should be above ground level

    B.

     According to Lacey, regime conditions require a particular slope for a given discharge and silt factor

    C.

     In case the ground slope is less than the required bed slope, the silt factor must be reduced by permitting the entry of coarse silt

    D.

     All the above


  11. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  12. A.

     Water table generally follows the ground surface above it with a few exceptions

    B.

     Static level of water in an open well indicates the position of the water table

    C.

     At water table, hydrostatic pressure is zero

    D.

     All the above


  13. Lacy's regime condition is obtained if

  14. A.

     Silt grade in the channel is variable

    B.

     Discharge in the channel is variable

    C.

     Silt charge in the channel is variable

    D.

     Channel flows in unlimited, incoherent alluvium of the same character as that transported material


  15. Infiltration rate is always

  16. A.

     more than the infiltration capacity

    B.

     less than the infiltration capacity

    C.

     equal to or less than the infiltration capacity

    D.

     Kennedy's theory

    C.

     Gibb's theory

    D.
