Question Paper
1. Explain any four of the following:
Agroc1imatic regional planning
Sustainable development
Leaching requirement
Classification of Indian rivers
Aridity index
Irrigation scheduling
Effective rainfall
Explain the important differences in operating characteristics of centrifugal and reciprocating pumps.
Explain how specific speed, as a characteristic parameter, is useful in both a centrifugal and a turbine pump.
A heavy rainfall event in a catchment lasted 12 hours and a total of 55 mm of rain was recorded during this period. The direct run-off corresponding to this rainfall was 30mm.
Calculate index.
During another rainfall event in the same catchment, 20 mm of rainfall was recorded during the first 6 hours and 10 mm during the following 6 hours. Calculate the losses according to the index method [Use the calculated index from
What is the potential evapotranspiration? How does it affect the water balance?
Explain drip irrigation method. Also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
Discuss various climatic zones of India.
Compare the advantages and disadvantages of sprinkler irrigation versus surface irrigation methods.
Discuss the criteria for the selection of pumps for irrigation.
6. Distinguish between any /bur of the following:
Flexible and Rigid patterns of water allocation method
Border irrigation and Furrow irrigation
Hygroscopic water and Capillary water
Irrigation scheduling and Irrigation frequency
Void ratio and Soil porosity
Wilting point and Field capacity moisture content
Explain the general design aspects of turbine pumps and also discuss specific speed as well as performance curves.
Discuss in detail the environmental impact of construction of a dam.
