View solution

Q. Which of the following is not a type of rigid module?

View solution

Q. The discharge range of Gibb’s module varies from ____________

View solution

Q. Choose the incorrect statement.

i. Bed bars are constructed in canals at the toe of the canal lining to prevent slippage of the lining.
ii. Cattle crossings also provide safety to cattle that are swept away by currents besides their usual function of helping the cattle to cross the canal.
iii. A canal escape helps in supplying irrigation water to the downstream watercourses.

View solution

Q. The outlet discharge is maintained constant and it is not at all dependent on the water levels in the parent and the field channels in _________________

View solution

Q. Gibb’s module is a type of outlet which ensures constant discharge even if the water levels in the supply channel and watercourse fluctuate.

View solution

Q. A baffle wall is a sort of weir constructed at the end of the cistern to:

i. To prevent any excess amount of discharge likely to pass through the module
ii. The baffle plates are inserted in the eddy chamber sloping from the outer wall towards the inner wall
iii. Head up the water to its upstream to such a height that hydraulic jump is formed

Which of the following statement is correct?

View solution

Q. In cattle crossings, the exact distance to be kept between the two ramps on the same side should theoretically be ________

View solution

Q. For canals carrying smaller water depths, a ramp is provided for the entry and exit as cattle crossings.

View solution

Q. Bed bars are used _______________

i. To serve as permanent reference marks
ii. To correct alignment and theoretical bed levels of the canal
iii. Helps in desilting the canal section during its maintenance
