- Yes
- No
Q2 | Lining of a canal
- increases
- decreases
- does not effect
Q3 | The berms when fully formed
- reduce the absorption losses and prevents leaks
- protect the bank from erosion because of wave action

- Yes
- No
Q7 | A useful soil moisture for plant growth is
- capillary water
- gravitational water
- hygroscopic water
- all of these
Q8 | An outlet in which the discharge depends upon the difference in level between the water levels in distributing channel and the water course, is known as
- non-modular outlet
- semi-module outlet
- modular outlet
- rigid module
Q9 | The river training works are adopted on a river
- to pass high flood discharge safely and quickly through the breach
- to direct and guide the river flow
- to reduce bank erosion to a minimum
- all of the above
Q10 | The science which deals with the measurement of water is called hydrometry.
- TRUE
- FALSE
Q11 | The gap or margin of height, between full supply level (F.S.L.) and top of the bank is called
- free board
- dowel
- inspection roadway
- berm
Q12 | The optimum depth of kot watering is 19 cm for
- wheat
- sugar-cane
- rice
- cotton
Q13 | The width of meandering belt is the
- transverse distance between the apex point of one curve and apex point on reverse curve
- axial distance along the river between tangent point of one curve and tangent point of other curve of same order
- axial distance along the river between the apex point of one curve and apex point on reverse curve
- transverse distance along the river between tangent point of one curve and tangent point of other curve of same order
Q14 | The function of a scouring sluice is
- to control the silt entry into the canal
- to scour the silt deposited in the river bed above the approach channel
- to pass the low floods without dropping the shutters of the main weir
- all of the above
Q15 | In case of syphon aqueduct, the H.F.L. of the drain is
- much below the bottom of the canal trough
- much higher above the canal bed
- in level with the canal bed
- none of the above
Q16 | A canal head work in rocky stage of a river is not suitable because
