Question 101. Suppose the culturable commanded for a distributary is 8000 hectares, and the intensity of irrigation for Kharif season is 60% and that of rabi season is 30%. The average duty at the head of a distributary is 4000 hectares/cumec for Kharif season and for Rabi season it is 1800 hectares/cumec, find out discharge required at the head of the distributary?

Question 102. Determine the discharge required at the head of the distributary in a canal where Kharif area to be irrigated is 2400 hectares and Rabi area to be irrigated is 1800 hectares, for fulfilling maximum crop requirement. Assume suitable values for kor depth and kor period.

Question 103. What is the limitation of the Shield’s expression?

Question 104. Calculate the ratio of the tractive critical stress to the average shear stress if the water flows at a depth of 0.8 m in a wide stream having a bed slope of 1 in 3000. The median diameter of the sand bed is 2 mm.

Question 105. The manning’s coefficient for a lined trapezoidal channel with a bed slope of 1 in 4000 is 0.014 and it will be 0.028 if the channel is unlined. The area in the case of the lined section is 19.04 m² and for the unlined section is 29.09 m². What percentage of earthwork is saved in a lined section relative to an unlined section, when a hydraulically efficient section is used in both the cases?

Question 106. Calculate the Manning’s rugosity coefficient in a coarse alluvium gravel with D-75 size of 5 cm.

Question 107. Calculate the critical tractive stress if the median diameter of the sand bed is 1.0 mm.

Question 108. Determine the shear stress required to move the single grain on the side slopes, if the critical shear stress required moving the similar grain on the horizontal bed is 2.91 N/m². Consider the angle of the side slope with the horizontal as 30° and the angle of repose of soil as 37°.

Question 109. The shear stress required to move grain on the side slopes is less than the shear stress required to move the grain on the canal bed.

Question 110. On what condition does the resistance equations of Chezy’s formula and manning’s formula are applicable?
