Q

[A]. The rate of flow of water through a unit cross-sectional area under a unit hydraulic gradient, is called coefficient of permeability
[B]. The rate of flow of water through a vertical strip of the acquifer of unit width and full depth under a unit hydraulic gradient, is called coefficient of transmissibility
[C]. The flow of water through acquifers, is governed by the Darcy’s law
[D].
The term ‘transmissibility’ was introduced by Meinzer @
[E]. The ratio of coefficient of transmissibility and coefficient of permeability, is equal to the depth of acquifer through which water flows.

A

Transmissibility was introduced by “theis” (1935).

Q

Retrogression of the bed level of a river downstream a weir, occurs due to

[A]. heavy impact of water
[B]. increase of the bed level
[C]. less percentage of silt @
[D]. soft soil strata.

A

Retrogression:

It is a temporary phenomenon which occurs after the construction of barrage in the river flowing through alluvial soil.

As a result of backwater effect and increase in the depth, the velocity of water decreases resulting in deposition of sedimentation load. The water flowing through the barrage have less silt, so water picks up silt from downstream bed. This results in lowering d/s river bed to a few miles. This is known as retrogression.

34
Q

A water-logged land is found suitable for cultivation due to

[A]. ease of tillage for preparation of the field for optimum condition of germination
[B]. absence of aeration of soil from root zone of the plant
[C]. regular supply of water to plants from the water table by capillary action
[D]. none of these. @

A

Because in the waterlogged area the salt content of the soil increases and the air below the ground surface in not available for the utilization for the crop. By this the productivity get decreased and so we try to avoid cropping in the water logged land areas. We thus try to reclaim the ground by using appropriate methods.

Q

For smooth entry of water in a canal, the angle between head regulator and water is generally kept

Q

he level of the fioor of a syphon aqueduct can be obtained

[A]. by subtracting the depth of the culvert from the canal bed level
[B]. by subtracting the thickness of culvert plus the depth of the culvert from the canal bed level @

Q

A fall which maintains its depth, is

[A]. a trapezoidal notch fall

68
Q

For diversion of flood water of rivers, the type of canal constructed, is

[A]. ridge canal
[B]. perennial canal
[C]. inundation canal @
[D]. canal.

A

Inundation canal is long canals taken off from large rivers. They receive water when the river is high enough and especially when in flood. While Perennial canals are lined to dams and barrages to provide water throughout the year, and they irrigate a vast area.

[A].	1.084	@
[B].	1.074
[C].	1.064
[D].	1.054
[E].	2.053
A

For trapezoid Q=1.99.
FOR RECTANGULAR Q=1.835.
Ratio is 1.99/1.835=1.084.

[A]. Lacey’s theory
[B]. Kennedy’s theory @
[C]. Gibb’s theory
[D]. Lindlay theory.

A

Garret Diagram used for Kennedy’s theory.

[D].	2 m/sec	@
[E].	2.5 m/sec
A

Lining material Limiting velocity (m/s).

Boulder —> 1.0”1.5.
Brunt clay tile —> 1.5”2.0.
Concrete tile —> 2.0”2.5.

Cereal -- check flooding.
Low water -- drip.
Low water with high pr -- sprinkler.
Sewage water -- effluent irrigation.
