GROUP 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWER KEYS

1. Is the management of every part of the water cycle; from a drop of water falling out of
a cloud as rain to the point at which it joins the sea. Water has usually been used more
than once on by the time this journey is finished.
a.) Water engineering c.) Water Cycle
b.) Sanitary Engineering d.) Storm water Management

2. Published his Famous Equation, formulating the conservation of energy in hydraulics,

advances hydraulic engineering laid the groundwork for further developments in the
20th century.
a.) Isaac Newton c.) Archimedes
b.) Charles Darwin d.) Daniel Bernoulli

3. Was very active in many aspects of hydraulic engineering and was to call himself a
CIVIL ENGINEER.
a.) Daniel Bernoulli c.) John Smearton
b.) John Smeaton d.) Archimedes

4. Refers to the engineering practices and regulatory policies employed to mitigate the
adverse effects of storm water runoff.
a.) Water engineering c.) Water Cycle
b.) Sanitary Engineering d.) Storm water Management

5. Managing the natural flow of storm water to prevent property damage and loss of life.
a.) Flood Control c.) Water Cycle
b.) Water resource d.) Water Quality

6. Exploiting the available water resources for beneficial purposes such as water supply,
irrigation, hydroelectric power and navigation.
a.) Flood Control c.) Water Cycle
b.) Water resource d.) Water Quality

7. All engineers and technicians, electrical, mechanical or civil, are engaged in design.
Regardless of the size of the project, the design process requires the complete
specifications of every aspect of the structure so that it can then be constructed the
basis of the resulting specifications.
a.) Flood Control c.) Water Design
b.) Engineering Control d.) Engineering Design

8. Sketch alternative layouts of the pipe on the base map. Also, research other factors
affecting the design, such as soil conditions structural loading on the pipe, potential
interference with other subsurface utilities, drainage area and meteorological data.
a.) Concept c.) Calculations
b.) Design Development d.) Control
9. Prepare drawings showing the layout in plan and profile including any details and
notes needed to describe the structure for use by the builder in constructing the
project. Include written specifications if necessary.
a.) Control c.) Calculations
b.) Design Development d.) Prepare Drawings and Specifications

10. Deals with the occurence, movement, and storage of water in the earth.
a.) Hydrology c.) Water Cycle
b.) Sanitary Engineering d.) Storm water Management

11. Is the process where water runs over the surface of the earth. As water runs over the
ground it displaces the top soil with it and moves the minerals along with the stream.
a.) Infiltration c.) Evapotranspiration
b.) Surface runoff d.) Storage

12. This is the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by
evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants.
a.) Infiltration c.) Evapotranspiration
b.) Surface runoff d.) Storage

13. When the size of the droplet is less than 0.5 mm ?

a.) Rain c.) Storm
b.) Drizzle d.) Snow

14. Is all water which is open to the atmosphere and subject to surface run-off. It is just
what the name implies; it is a water found in a river, lake or other surface cavity.
a.) Surface Water c.) Water Cycle
b.) Sanitary Engineering d.) Storm water Management

15. Permanent surface water persists throughout the year. It is usually form in rivers,
lakes, springs, and swamps. It is replenished with groundwater when there is little
precipitation.
a.) Ephimeral c.) Perennial
b.) Elevation d.) Pond

16. Found on artificial structures, such as dams or constructed wetlands.

a.) Ephimeral c.) Semi-Permanent
b.) Permanent d.) Man-made surface water

17. Rainfall that is lost to the runoff process through infiltration, evaporation, surface
ponding, and even evapotranspiration.
a.) Peak c.) Rainfall Excess
b.) Initial losses d.) Runoff
18. Are used for small drainage basins where no measured runoff data are available?
a.) Direct Hydrograph c.) Synthetic Hyrdograph
b.) Indirect Hydrograph d.) Authentic Hydrograph

19. When runoff from a rainfall event travels down a stream, it is considered a flood wave
even though the “crest” of such a wave would not be discernible to casual observers.
a.) Subbasins c.) Evapotranspiration
b.) Routing d.) Storage

20. Amount of time needed for runoff to flow from the most hydraulically remote point to
the point of analysis.
a.) Control c.) Calculation time
b.) Design Time d.) Time of Concentration
