Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Irrigation tubewells should be so located that there is no interference in the cone of depressions of the two adjoining tubewells.
Statement (II) : Drainage tubewells to lower water table should be so located that there is some interference in the cone of depressions of two adjoining tubewells.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

- For water supply (irrigation): Well interference is bad (reduces yield).
- For dewatering (drainage): Well interference is good (ensures uniform lowering of the water table).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
