List of top Agricultural Engineering and Technology Questions on Irrigation Engineering asked in ICAR AIEEA (PG)

Given below are two statements:

Statement (I): In small catchments the overland flow phase is predominant over the channel flow. Hence the land use and the intensity of rainfall have an important role on the peak flood.

Statement (II): On large catchments the effects of land use and intensity of rainfall are suppressed as the channel flow phase is more predominant.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Given below are five statements:

(A) The process of evaporation of water in nature is one of the fundamental components of the hydrological cycle.

(B) Transpiration is the process by which water vapour leaves the atmosphere and enters the plant body.

(C) Potential evapo-transpiration is the evapo-transpiration from a large vegetation covered land surface with adequate moisture at all times.

(D) The soil and crop conditions in the lysimeters should be close to the natural conditions.

(E) Soil moisture depletion method is usually employed to determine the consumptive use of unirrigated field crops.

Match List-I with List-II

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements:

Statement (I): Penman proposed an equation for evaporation from an open water surface based on a combination of energy balance and sink strength.

Statement (II): For converting PET into ET, suitable crop coefficients should be evolved for different crops, soils and climatic conditions and also for different stages of growth for the same crop.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
