01. A wide channel with S0 = 0.0025 carries a discharge of 3 m2 /s. Compute
the normal depth and velocity using the Manning formula when n = 0.020

Solution:
Using the Manning formula hn =
√

➨ hn =
√

➨ hn =1.12 m

Normal depth = 1.12 m

Velocity V=

➨ V=

Velocity = 2.69 m/s

02. Design an irrigation channel in alluvial soil from following data using
Lacey’s theory: Discharge = 15.0 cumec; Lacey’s silt factor = 1.0; Side slope =
½:1
Solution:

V = 0.4382 (Q . f2)1/6
= 0.4382 x (15 x 1)1/6
= 0.689 m/s
A = Q/V
= 15/0.689
= 21.76 sq.m

Wetted perimeter P using Lacey’s regime perimeter equation

P = 4.75 Q^1/2
= 4.75 x 15^1/2
= 18.39 m

Now, A = (b+sh)h
➨21.76 = (b+0.5h)x h
➨ b=

Now, P = b+ √ )xh

➨ 18.39 = b +2 x √ ) x h --------------------------------- (i)

Putting value of b in (i)

h =1.36 m, b = 15.32 m

Bed slope S = = = 1: 5245

03. Calculate the amount of bleaching powder needed to disinfectant 1000000
Litter water in a storage tank to a dose of 5ppm chlorine. Bleaching powder
contains 25% of chlorine.
Solution:
Volume = 1000000 L

Total chlorine = 0.5 mg/L x 1000000 L [ppm=mg/L]

= 500000 mg
= 0.5 kg
Bleaching powder needed = 0.5/0.25
= 2kg

04.Find FM & Find Percentage of Slit & Clay

Sieve Size #4 #8 #16 #30 #40 #50 #100 #200 Pan
% 0 1 5 12 12 34 30 2 4
Retained

Solution:

Sieve Size % Retained Cumulative % FM

Retained
#4 0 0
#8 1 1
#16 5 6
#30 12 18 =183/100 =1.83
#40 12 30
#50 34 64
#100 30 94
#200 2 96
Pan 4 100

Slit & Clay = 4%

05. Reciprocal leveling was done to determine the difference in elevation between two
stations A and B. the following observations were made. Find the RL of B if the RL of A is
210 m

POSITION STAFF READING

A B
Near A a1 = 3.20 b1 = 2.50
Near B a2 = 2.30 b2 =1.90

Solution:

True difference h = [(a1 – b1)+(a2 – b2)]/2

= [(3.2 – 2.5) + (2.3 – 1.9)]/2
= 0.55
So, True RL of B = 210+0.55 =210.55m

06. Define BOD & COD. Which value is greater and why?
Solution:
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
BOD is defined as the amount of oxygen demanded by the micro-organisms in the
sewage for the decomposition of bio-degradable matter under aerobic condition.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)

The amount of oxygen that is required for the chemical oxidation of the
organic and inorganic chemicals present in the wastewater by utilizing
oxidizing agents like Potassium permanganate, Potassium dichromate etc. is
called as chemical oxygen demand (COD).

COD is greater than BOD and Why?
Only the biodegradable organics is measured in BOD test when, COD test
measures biodegradable organic material & inorganic or non- biodegradable
material also.

Hence value of COD is more than BOD.
