cumec and standard deviation 650 cumec. For what value of discharge would you
design a structure at the point so as to provide 95% assurance that the structural
would not fail in the next 50 years. Assume Yn=0.53625, Sn=1.11238.
A catchment has five rain?gauge stations. In a year, the annual rainfall recorded by
the gauges is 78.8 cm, 90.2 cm, 98.6 cm, 102.4 cm and 70.4 cm. For a 6% error
in the estimation of the mean rainfall, determine the additional number of gauges
needed.
What is meant by hydrological cycle? How can the parameters of the cycle be written
in an equation form? Draw a neat diagram to illustrate your answer.
What do you mean by design ?ood? What are the factors affecting the ?ood
hydrograph? Explain the procedure of using a unit hydrograph to develop the ?ood
hydrograph due to a storm in a catchment.
Write down in details selection of suitable site for a tube well.
And also explain advantages and disadvantages of well irrigation over canal
irrigation.
SECTION C
3: Attempt any one part of the following: 10X1=10
a) Explain both type of rain gauge:
A: Automatic rain? gauge.
B: Non-automatic rain-gauge.
b) What is an intensity?duration curve and how will you proceed to derive such a curve for
a given frequency at a Rain gauge station from the available data of worst storms of
different durations kept for a sufficient number of cycles.
4: Attempt any one parts of the following: 10X1=10
a) Explain the factors that affect the runoff from a catchment Area. How will you estimate
the amount of runoff? A 4-hour storm in a basin producing 10 cm of runoff results the
following ?ows in the stream:
Time 0 2 4 6 8 12 16 20
(hour)
Flow 0.0 2.44 8.10 13.50 11.34 6.75 2.70 0.0
(cumec)
Calculate the peak ?ow and the time of its occurrence of the ?ood created by an 8-hour
storm in the basin which Produces 5 cm of runoff during first 4-hours and 7.5 cm Runoff
during the second 4-hours. Assume base ?ow is Negligible.
b) What is meant by evapo-transpiration? Also explain measurement of evapotranspiration.
5: Attempt any one parts of the following: 10X1=10
a) Explain in details of hydrograph with neat sketch. Also explain theory of unit hydrograph
and limitation of unit hydrograph.
b) What is run?off? What are the factors that affect the run-off from a catchment area?
Describe the methods of computing run-off from a catchment area.
6: Attempt any one parts of the following: 10X1=10
a) From the analysis of available data on annual ?ood peaks of a stream for a period of 40
years, the 50 year and 100 year ?oods have been estimated to be 878 cumec and 970
cumec. Using Gumbel?s method, estimate the 200 year ?ood for the stream.
b) A one-day rainfall of 100 mm at a station was found to have a return period of 50 years.
Determine the probability. That a one-day rainfall of this or larger magnitude will occur
At least once in 20 successive years.
7: Attempt any one parts of the following: 10X1=10
a) What are the differences between con?ned and uncon?ned Aquifers for the determination
of discharge with steady ?ow Condition? A well penetrates into an unconfined aquifer
having a saturated depth of 100 m. The discharge isn250 liters per minute at 12 m draw
down. Assuming Equilibrium ?ow conditions and a homogeneous aquifer, Estimate the
discharge at 18 m draw down. The distance from the well where the draw down
in?uences are not appreciable may be taken equal for both cases.
b) Write short notes on any four of the following:
(i) Well losses
(ii) Speci?c capacity and specific yield of an aquifer
(iii) Rain water harvesting
(iv) Aquifer and aquiclude
v) Radius of in?uence and cone of depression.
