    POKHARA UNIVERSITY

    Level: Bachelor Semester – Spring Year : 2009


    Programme: BE Full Marks : 100
    Pass Mark : 45
    Course: Water Resource Engineering I Time : 3 hrs
    Candidates are required to give their answers in their own words as far
    as practicable.
    The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
    Attempt all the questions.

    1. a. Define irrigation and explain its necessity in a developing country 8


    like Nepal. What are the advantages and ill-effects of assured
    irrigation?
    b. Determine the dimensions of an irrigation canal for the following
    7
    data: (B/D) =3.7; N=0.0225; m=1.0; and S= (1/4000). Side slope
    of the channel is ½ horizontal to 1 vertical. Also determine the
    discharge which will be flowing in the channel.
    2. a. Explain the basic differences between the specific design 5
    considerations from hill and plain region irrigation.
    b. What are duty and delta? Establish the relationship between them.
    5
    c. Describe in brief the border strip method of irrigation. 5
    3. a. What is a canal outlet? Write the requirements of a good canal 5
    outlet.
    b. Design and sketch Bell's Bund to train a river at its bridge site
    5
    having following hydraulic data.
    Maximum discharge =6000cumecs
    Highest flood level =104.00m
    River bed level =100.00m
    Average diameter of bed materials =0.10m
    c. What is water-logging? Explain different ill-effects of water- 5
    logging .
    4. a. Briefly explain the salient features of Khosla’s theory and how it is 7
    used in the design of permeable foundations? Enumerate the
    various corrections that are needed in the application of this
    theory.
    8
    b. The culturable commanded area for a distributary is 15000
    1
    hectares. The intensity of irrigation (I.I) for Rabi (wheat) is 40%
    and for Kharif (rice) is 15%. If the total water requirement of the
    two crops are 37.5 cm and 120 cm and their periods of growth are
    160 days and 140 days respectively; (a) Determine the outlet
    discharge from average demand considerations; (b) also determine
    the peak demand discharge, assuming that the kor water depth for
    two crops are 13.5 cm and 19 cm and their kor periods are 4 weeks
    and 2 weeks respectively.
    5. Design a siphon aqueduct if the following data at the crossing of a canal 15
    and a drainage are given.
    Canal:
    a. Discharge = 40 cumsecs
    b. Bed width = 30m
    c. Full supply = 1.6m
    d. Bed level = 206.4m
    e. Side slopes = 1.5 H:1V
    Drainage:
    a. High flood discharge = 450 cumsecs
    b. High flood level = 207.0m
    c. Bed level = 204.5m
    d. General ground level = 206.5m
    Assume any other data suitable if necessary.
    6. a. What is meant by canal regulation and what are different 5
    canal regulation works? Describe the necessity and functioning of
    distributary head regulator and cross regulator. What are canal
    escapes?
    b. What is meant by canal alignment? Explain different 5
    methods of canal alignment.
    c. Draw a typical canal cross- section which is partly 5
    constructed in cutting and partly in filling.
    7. Write short notes on (Any Two): 2×5
    a. Water right issue in Nepal
    b. Lacy and Kennedy Approach
    c. Difference between Head Regulator and Cross Regulator
