Q : 1) A rapid sand filter is proposed for water

supply treatment plant for a town with a
population of 75,000. The average rate of
water supply is 150 litres/capita/day and rate
of filtration is to be 100 litres/min./sq. m.
Design:
(i) size and number of filter beds
(ii) manifold-lateral under drainage
(iii) wash water discharge required, if the rate
of washing is 45 cm rise/min.

Q : 2) A 0.5 m diameter well fully penetrates an

unconfined aquifer whose bottom is 150 m
below the undisturbed groundwater table. The
water is pumped out from the well at a constant
rate of 0.1 m3/s. After equilibrium is reached,
the drawdown observed in two observation
wells at radial distances of 10 m and 50 m are
respectively 10 m and 5 m. Determine
(i) The coefficient of permeability (in m/s)
(ii) The drawdown in the well (in m)

Q : 3) A trapezoidal channel has bed width

= 4 m, side slope = 1.5, bed slope = 0.01
and Manning's n = 0.012. If it is carrying a
discharge = 40 m3/s at normal depth = 1.5
m, then classify its slope by computing
critical depth.

Q : 4) A pelton wheel has a mean bucket

speed of 10 m/sec with a jet of water
flowing at the rate of 0.7 m3/sec under a
head of 30 m. The bucket deflect the jet
through an angle of 160O. Calculate power
given by water to the runner and the
hydraulic efficiency of the turbine. Assume
efficiency of the nozzle as 0.98.

Q : 6) While levelling between two points P

and Q on opposite banks of a river, the
level was first set up near point P and the
staff readings observed at point P and Q
were 1.385 m and 3.005 m respectively.
After this level was set up near point Q and
the observed reading on point P and Q
were 0.750 m and 2.320 m respectively. If
the reduced level of point Q was 120.000
m, determine the reduced level of point P.
