Subject: - Irrigation Engineering

Candidates are required to give their answers in their own words as far as practicable.
Attempt any Five questions.
The figures in the margin indicate Full Marks.
Assume suitable data if necessary.

1. a) Explain the sprinkler and drip irrigation methods. Write down their advantages and
disadvantages.
b) With following data: FC = 80%, PWP = 35%, root depth = 60cm, soil density =
1.5gm/cc, ETC = 5 mm/day, application efficiency = 80%, conveyance loss = 55% and
distribution loss = 65%, calculate

readily available moisture contents.
depth of irrigation at the outlet of the field.
irrigation interval.
the irrigation requirement at headworks.

2. a) Write down the causes and effects of water logging. Also explain various methods of
reclamation of water logged area.
b) Derive the expression for subsurface drainage spacing.
c) Explain different types of outlets used in irrigation projects.
3. a) A guide bank with stone pitching is required for a bridge on a river having the
following particulars:
Design flood discharge : 50,000 cumecs
Silt factor = 1.10
Bed level of river = 130.00m
High flood level = 140.00m
Thickness of launching apron = 2.5 times thickness of stone pitching
What length of launching apron is necessary to protect the upstream impregnable head
of the guide bank?
b) Explain different level of planning in irrigation projects. Also explain different types
of maintenance required in irrigation projects.
4. a) Find out the depth of an irrigation canal having the following data:
Discharge, Q = 30m3/s
Bed slope = 1 in 3000
Bed width = 6.0m
Mannings rugosity coeff. = 0.019
What is the mean particle size of the canal bed material?

b) For the given data below, design a regime channel canal


Discharge, Q = 30m3/s
Bed slope = 1 in 4000
Critical velocity ratio = 1.0
Kutters n value = 0.022
c) The sides of an irrigation canal with the following design parameters are well
protected. What will be the stable depth and bed width of such a canal?
Q = 5 m3/s, d50 = 4cm, i = 1/1000
5. a) Compute the waterway of canal and drainage of a suitable cross drainage work and
draw a schematic neat sketch of the designed structure.
Qcanal = 20 m3/s
Qdrain = 200 m3/s
FSL depth = 1.40m
HFL = 101.5m
Bed Level = 100.00m
Bed Level (drain) = 98.00m
Bed Width = 16m
b) Draw neat sketches (plan and typical section through undersluice) of a barrage and
show all the components. With sketch, explain how the silt excluders work?
