Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Record from the tipping bucket gives data on the rainfall intensity.

Hydrology is the science of water which deals with:
(A). Occurance
(B). Distribution
(C). Circulation
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Given below are two statements: Statement (I): The rising limb of hydrograph, also known as concentration curve represents the increase in discharge due to the gradual building up of storage in channels and over the catchment surface. Statement (II): The basin and storm characteristics control the shape of the rising limb of a hydrograph. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Given below are two statements:

Statement (I): Isotropic and homogeneous aquifers seldom occur in nature.

Statement (II): Water level measurements during pumping test are made in observation wells installed close to the well or at some distance away from it.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Consider the following statements about the hydrological aspects of rainfall:
A. Cetyl alcohol is used as chemical for evaporation inhibitor
B. Isohyetal, Thiessen polygon and arithematic-mean methods are used to distribute point rainfall into entire catchment area
C. Falling raindrops are intercepted by vegetation called as throughfall
D. Return period is nothing but the probability of occurrence of an event of a random variable whose magnitude is equal or in excess of a specified magnitude
E. DAD curves are used to estimate the severe floods in the area
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I: The product of relief (H) and drainage density (D\(_d\)) is denoted as ruggedness number.
Statement II: The value of ruggedness number becomes extremely high when H and D\(_d\) are large (when slope is steep and long).
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I: Watershed is one whose area is 50000 ha.
Statement II: Micro-watershed is one whose area is between 1000-10000 ha.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Assertion A: Orographic precipitation is that which occurs when moist air masses may get lifted up to higher altitudes due to presence of mountain barriers.
Reason R: Infiltration is the flow of water into the ground through the soil surface and it is measured by using double ring infiltrometer.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
