Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 1

A culvert is designed for a flood frequency of 100 years and a useful life of 20 years. The risk involved in the design of the culvert (in percentage up to two decimal places)

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 1

Hydrologic risk
Risk(R) = 1 - (1-(1/T)n
Or Risk (R) = 1 - (1 - P)n
Where T = Flood return period
P = Probability of occurring flood in a given year
n = Number of years of risk calculate or useful life of the structure.
Calculation:
Given
Flood return period (T) = 100 years
Service life of the project (n) = 20 years
Risk(R) = 1 - (1-(1/100))20
Risk (R) = 1 - (1 - 0.01)20
Risk (R) = 1 - (0.99)20
Risk (R) = 1 - 0.8179 = 0.1820
Risk (R) = 0.1820 × 100 = 18.20%
Risk (R) = 18.20%
The risk involved in the design of the culvert is 18.20%.

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 2

A flood control structure having an expected life of n years is designed by considering a flood of return period T years. When T = n, and n → ∝,  the structure's hydrologic risk of failure in percentage is . (round off to one decimal place)

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 2

Risk of failure = 1 - qn = 1 - (1 - p)n = 1 - (1 - 1/T)n
For T = n → ∝
Risk of failure = 1 - (1/e) = 0.632
% risk of failure = 0.632 x 100 = 63.2%

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 3

Muskingum method is used in

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 3

Muskingum method is used in hydrological channel routing

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 4

The probability that the annual maximum flood discharge will exceed 25000 m3/s, at least once in next 5 years is found to be 0.25. The return period of this flood event (in years, round off to 1 decimal place) is ____

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 4

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 5

For routing of flood in a given channel using the Muskingum method, two of the routing coefficients are estimated as C0 = -0.25 and C1 = 0.55. The value of the third coefficient C2 would be ______

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 5

In Muskingum flood routing method
C0 + C1 + C2 = 1
⇒ C2 = 1 - (-0.25) - 0.55 = 0.7

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 6

The Muskingum Model of routing a flood through a stream reach is expressed as  where K0, K1 and K2 are the routing coefficients for the concerned reach, I1 and I2 are the inflows to reach, and O1 and O2 are the outflows from the reach corresponding to time step 1 and 2 respectively. The sum of K0, K1 and K2 of the model is

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 7

A conventional flow duration curve is a plot between

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 8

The correct match of Group I Group II is

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 9

When the outflow from a storage reservoir is uncontrolled as in a freely operating spillway, the peak of outflow hydrograph occurs at

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 9

When outflow from a reservoir is uncontrolled as in freely operating spillway, then the peak of outflow hydrograph will occur at a point of intersection of inflow and outflow curves, whereas if outflow from a reservoir is controlled then peak will occur after the intersection of the curve.

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 10

The stage-discharge relation in a river during the passage of flood is measured. If qf is the discharge at the stage when water surface is falling and qr is the discharge at the same stage when water surface is rising, then

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 10

At the same stage, more discharge passes through the river during rising stages than in falling ones.
Note: Stage discharge relation is also known as rating curve.

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 11

A linear reservoir is one in which

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 11

When outflow from a reservoir is uncontrolled as in freely operating spillway, then the peak of outflow hydrograph will occur at a point of intersection of inflow and outflow curves, whereas if outflow from a reservoir is controlled then peak will occur after the intersection of the curve.

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 12

A flood wave with a known inflow hydrograph is routed through a large reservoir. The outflow hydrograph will have

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 13

A 1-h rainfall of 10 cm magnitude at a station has a return period of 50 years. The probability that a 1-h rainfall of magnitude 10 cm or more will occur in each of two successive years is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 13

Return period of rainfall,
T & = 50 years
∴ probability of occurrence once in 50 years,
p & = (1/50) & = 0.02
Probability of occurrence in each of 2 successive year = p2 = (0.02)2 = 0.0004.

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 14

Superpassage is a canal cross-drainage structure in which

Detailed Solution for Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 14

Cross-section of a super passage

Test: Flood Routing and Flood Control - Question 15

In a homogeneous unconfined aquifer of area 3.00km2, the water table was at an elevation of 102.00 m. After a natural recharge of volume 0.90 million cubic meter (Mm2), the water table rose to 103.20 m. After this recharge, ground water pumping took place and the water table dropped down to 101.020 m. The volume of ground water pumped after the natural recharge, expressed (in Mmand round off to two decimal places), is ______.
