  1. Isopiastic lines are the contours

  2. A.
    drawn to represent water table
    B.
    drawn to represent piezometric heads
    C.
    drawn to piezometric surface
    D.
    none of these.

  3. The coefficients of permeability of soils of an unconfined aquifer and another confined aquifer were determined by pumping water from the wells and observing the effect of water table in two test wells at equal distances was found to be equal. The total height of confined aquifer H is given by

  4. A.
    H = h2 - h1
    B.
    H = h1 - h2
    C.
    H = h2 + h1
    D.
    (h1 + h2)

  5. The radius of influence is

  6. A.
    radius of the main well
    B.
    distance from the wall of main well to the point of zero draw down
    C.
    distance from the centre of main well to the point of zero draw down
    D.
    none of these.

  7. When a constant discharge 2.91 litres/sec. was obtained in a pumping test, the draw downs in the test wells at 3 m and 6.184 m were 2.6 m and 0.3 m respectively. If over-all depth of the pumping well was 16 m, the permeability of the soil, is

  8. A.
    0.0005 cm/sec
    B.
    0.001 cm/sec
    C.
    0.002 cm/sec
    D.
    0.01 cm/sec.

  9. If ω is unit weight of water, Q the discharge in cumecs, H the total head lift and η, the efficiency of the pump, the H.P. of the motor is


  10. If h is the loss due to friction in a pipe. Total losses in strainer and bends may be taken as

  11. A.
    0.01 h
    B.
    0.45 h
    C.
    0.20 h
    D.
    0.25 h
    E.
    0.3 h.

  12. If the loss due to friction in pipes is 4 m, the total losses in strainer and bends may be taken as

  13. A.
    0.10 m
    B.
    0.20 m
    C.
    0.5 m
    D.
    1.0 m.

  14. The rate of evaporation from reservoirs may be determined by

  15. A.
    pan-measurement method
    B.
    empirical formulae
    C.
    storage equation method
    D.
    energy budget method
    E.
    all the above.

  16. In estimating the rate of evaporation from the reservoir surface, a pan 1.5 metres in diameter, was filled upto 8.0 cm. During a specified period of time, the rainfall recorded was 5 cm. 3 cm of water was removed from the pan to keep the depth of water. At the end of the time, the depth was 9 cm. If the pan coefficient is 0.6, the evaporation loss is

  17. A.
    2 mm
    B.
    4 mm
    C.
    6 mm
    D.
    6 mm.

  18. Dicken's formula for high flood estimate, is useful only for the catchments in

  19. A.
    Southern India
    B.
    Northern India
    C.
    Eastern India
    D.
    Western India.
