  2.    temperature difference
  3.    natural topographical barriers
  4.    all of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> pressure difference
Question 72. Which one of the following statements is correct?
  1.    The canal system and the drainage system are complementary
  2.    The canal system runs on ridges, gets divided into smaller channels and spreads its water on the land
  3.    The drainage system runs along the lowest line, collects drainage water from the slopes and joins the main stream
  4.    All the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All the above
Question 73. If the height of the hydraulic gradient line above the floor of thickness t is h and the specific gravity of the material of the floor is G, the minimum thickness t of the floor downstream of the crest-wall, is given by the equation
  1.    t = (h + 1)/(G + t)
  2.    t = (h - 1)/(G + t)
  3.    t = (h - 1)/(G - t)
  4.    t = (h + 1)/G
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> t = (h - 1)/(G - t)
