What type of irrigation system needs mechanical means to supply water for irrigation?

Civil Engineering : Irrigation - Quiz(MCQ)

Lift Irrigation

Combined System

Storage Irrigation

Perennial Irrigation

Correct Answer : Lift Irrigation

Explanation : Unlike any other irrigation systems lift irrigation system is used in when water supply is at too low level to run by gravitation on to the land. So, in such cases water is needed to be lifted by mechanical means for irrigation.

Which type of lining is mixed and placed under temperature?

Dry Stone Lining

Shotcrete Lining

Cement Concrete Lining

Asphaltic Concrete Lining

Correct Answer : Option (D) : Asphaltic Concrete Lining

Explanation : Asphaltic concrete lining has been under evolution. It is used in very few places. This concrete is a careful mixture of asphalt and graded stone aggregate, and is mixed and applied under elevated temperature. This is a flexible lining and readily confirms to subgrade.

Calculate hydraulic mean depth for concrete-lined channel to carry a discharge of 350 cumecs at a slope of 1 in 5000. The value of manning’s constant for the lining is 0.015. The side slopes of a channel may be taken as 1.5:1. Assume limiting velocity in the channel as 2m/sec.

2.20 m

2.40 m

2.60 m

2.80 m

Correct Answer : Option (D) : 2.80 m

Explaination : Using Manning’s equation: V = 1/n.R2/3.S½
2 = 1/0.015 x Râ…” x 1/5000½
R = 2.80 m.

What is the maximum permissible velocity in Cement concrete lining (Unreinforced) as per Indian Standards?

1.2 to 1.8 m/sec

2 to 2.5 m/sec

1.5 to 2 m/sec

1.5 to 2.5 m/sec

Correct Answer : Option (B) : 2 to 2.5 m/sec

Explanation : The maximum permissible velocity for unreinforced cement concrete lining is 2.0 to 2.5 m/sec. For Boulder lining, the maximum permissible velocity is 1.5 m/sec.
