Question 2

Calibration of a current meter for use, in channel flow measurement is done in a

Question 3

Orogaphic rain occurs when the air is cooled sufficiently as a result of

Question 4

The potable water is prepared from turbid surface water by adopting the following treatment sequence.

Question 5

Consider the following statements:
1) Over the oceans there is more evaporation than precipitation.
2) On land it is more precipitation than evapo-transpiration.
3) Calculation of flow through a contracted opening at a bridge
Which of these statements are correct?

Question 6

In a river carrying a discharge of , the stage at a station A was 3.6m and the water surface slope was 1 in 6000. If during a flood, the stage at A was 3.6m and the water surface slope was 1 in 3000, what was the flood discharge (approximately)?

Question 7

A standard, ground-based evaporation pan, corresponding to Indian Standards, is installed at the banks of a surface reservoir. The water surface area on a particular day is 100 hectares. The recorded evaporation loss from the pan, on a certain day, is nearly 4.0 cm. what is the anticipated evaporation loss from the reservoir for that day?

Question 8

In a river carrying a discharge of 142 m3/s, the stage at a station A was 3.6 m and the water surface slope was 1 in 6000. If during a flood, the stage at A was 3.6 m and the water surface slope was 1 in 3000, what was the flood discharge (approximately)?

Question 9

Ground water flows through an aquifer with a cross- sectional area of 1.0 × 104 m and a length of 1500m. Hydraulic heads are 300 m and 250 m at the ground water entry and exit points in the aquifer respectively. Ground water discharge into stream at the rate of 1500 m3/day. The corresponding hydraulic conductivity of this aquifer will be

Question 10

Which of the following statements are correct?
1) A fine sprinkle of precipitation of small and rather uniform water drops with all drop diameters below 0.10 mm is called as drizzle.
2) The precipitation of liquid water with every drop diameter less than 0.5 mm is known as rain.
3) Precipitation in the form of balls or irregular lumps of ice each over 5 mm in diameter is called as hail.
4) Dew is formed directly by condensation on the ground mainly during night when the surface has been cooled by outgoing radiation
