(a) Define i. Rainfall ii. Run off iii. Rainfall intensity iv. Yield
Ans.
i. Rainfall –
Rainfall is the depth in mm or cm of water that would stand on 1M
the surface of the earth provided it were not lost by evaporation
or absorption or any other manner.
ii. Run off –
The amount of water which flows over the surface of the 1M
earth after considering all losses is called as runoff
iii. Rainfall intensity-
A maximum rainfall during a short period measured in 1M
mm/ hr is called rainfall intensity.
iv. Yield-
Yield of drainage basin is defined as, the total quantity of
water available from a catchment area at the outlet in the 1M
period of one year. 4M

Q = 879.57 m3/sec
Average annual rainfall= 760 mm < 200cm

R = 17.42 cm
Yield = R x C.A
Yield =17.42 cm x 60 km2 =17.42 x 10-2 x (60 x 106) / 104 Ha.m 4M
Yield = 1045.92Ha.m 1M

(b)
Fix the control levels DSL, FRL, HFL and TBL from the
following data
i. Effective storage required = 3000 Ha.m
ii. Carry over allowance and tank losses = 25%
iii. Dead storage = 10% of gross storage

Assume flood lift as 1.5 m and free board as 2.5m.
Ans.
Gross storage = dead storage + live storage
Live storage= eff. Storage +tank losses +carry over allowance
Live storage= 3000+ (25/100)x3000
Live storage= 3750 Ha.m = 37.5 M.m3 1M
Gross storage = 10/100 x gross storage + 37.5

Gross storage = 37.5/0.9 = 41.66 M.m3 1M

FRL =612.332 m
Dead storage=10/100 x Gross storage =10/100 x 41.66 = 4.166 M.m3

DSL = 581.55 m
HFL = FRL + flood lift
HFL = 612.332 +1.5
HFL = 613.832 m 1M
TBL = HFL + Free Board
TBL = 613.832 + 2.5
TBL = 616.332 m 1M 6M

(b) Describe four factors affecting the rate of silting with suggestive
control measures.
Ans.
Factors affecting silting are-
1. Catchment area-
Fan shaped catchment, the amount of deposition of finer soil
fractions will be more as compared to fern shaped catchment
2. Slope of country-
If slope is steep , more particles are deposited through runoff ½
as velocity is more which carries silt and clay particles with it mark
and high velocity may erode soil more each
3. Beginning of storing water in reservoir- (any
Most of the silt is usually washed down by first heavy storms. four)
4. Nature of surface soil-
If the soil is loose then silting is more as more particles will
move along with runoff.

(e)
Write the need and suitability of site for construction of
percolation tanks.
Ans.
1) The percolation tanks are constructed where soil is porous and
it is not possible to construct the big retaining structures.
2) In percolation tank water percolate through soil pores and joins
the ground water which increases water level in wells on
1
downstream side. mark
3) Thus percolation tanks are suitable where there are more each
number of wells and bore wells. (any
4) Useful in areas where other water retaining structures cannot four)
be constructed.
5) The bed of tank should be pervious so that water will percolate
and join ground water.
6) The site at which bunds are constructed should have sufficient
discharge.
