Question Paper
Define Hydrology. Describe hydrologic cycle with the help of neat sketch.
What do you mean by precipitation? List the conditions required for precipitation formation.
Define infiltration. How it is measured? Write its unit also.
How atmospheric pressure and wind velocity affect the evaporation?
Differentiate between potential evaporation and reference evaporation.
Explain with neat sketch water budget and also write its different components.
Differentiate between convective and orographic rainfall.
Explain normal ratio method for estimation of missing rainfall data for a particular rain gauge. Compute rainfall of a missing station if annual rainfall of four surrounding stations Dare 800, 450, 550, and 770 mrn respectively during 1995. The station B was out of order and annual precipitations for station C and D were recorded as 720, 440 and 700 mm respectively.
What do you mean by the term recording and non -recording rain gauge.
Define time of concentration. Compute time of concentration for a watershed, if the length of flow path is 800 m with average slope of 5%.
Describe rational method for peak run-off estimation. Write its assumptions.
Explain weighing bucket type of rain gauge with the help of neat diagram.
A stream of 20 m^3/sec discharge has 6 pollutant concentration of 500 ppm(mg/l). The effluent from an industry is discharged into the stream at the rate of 2.5 m^3/sec with a concentration of 25000 ppm. Compute the resultant concentration.
Differentiate between industrial and agricultural waste.
Briefly discuss two physical and three chemical characteristics of water?
Explain with the help of flow diagram of conventional water treatment plant.
