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. 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. 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. 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.

Q. Calculate the discharge through an open flume outlet for the following data:

Coefficient of discharge = 1.71
Width of the throat = 0.15 m
Head over the crest measured from FSL of distributary = 1.8 m
