    running hydroelectric turbines
    B.
    floating the boats and ships
    C.
    providing steam for running locomotives
    D.
    warming dwelling units
    E.
    all the above.

  3. Knowledge of hydrology is necessary for civil engineers for

  4. A.
    designing and construction of irrigation structures
    B.
    designing and construction of bridges and culverts
    C.
    flood control works
    D.
    all the above.

  5. Pick up the correct statement from the following :

  6. A.
    Run off and surface run off are the same
    B.
    Run off includes the water flowing over the surface
    C.
    Run off is sometimes called discharge of the river
    D.
    Surface run off is sometimes called stream flow.

  7. Pick up the correct statement from the following :

  8. A.
    Yield of a drainage basin is the run off at any time
    B.
    Yield of a drainage basin is the run off over long periods
    C.
    Yield of a drainage basin is expressed as surface run off per year
    D.
    Run off is expressed as total volume per day
    E.
    None of these.

  9. Run off includes

  10. A.
    precipitation over catchment area of the stream and its attributaries
    B.
    surface run off
    C.
    ground water flow
    D.
    all the above.

  11. Pick up the correct statement from the following :

  12. A.
    Hydrograph is a plot of discharge and time
    B.
    In hydrographs, time is plotted on X-axis
    C.
    The maximum flow in the river due to rainfall, is called peak flow
    D.
    Peak flows are different for rainfalls
    E.
    All the above.

  13. A soil strata may consist of

  14. A.
    soil zone
    B.
    intermediate zone
    C.
    capillary zone
    D.
    ground water zone
    E.
    all the above.

  15. Pick up the correct statement from the following :

  16. A.
    The amount of water retained on the surface of soil grains by molecular attraction, is known as pellicular water
    B.
    The degree of resistance to movement of the pellicular water generally expressed by the surface tension
    C.
    The pellicular water held in any soil, is called field capacity
    D.
    The portion of the pellicular water absorbed by the root action of the vegetation, is called available moisture
    E.
    All the above.
