Water emerges from an ogee spillway with velocity 13.m/s and depth = 3.0 m at its toe. The tail water depth required to form a hydraulic jump at the toe is
An outlet irrigates an area ofha. The discharge (l/s) required at this outlet to meet the evapotranspiration requirement ofmm occurring uniformly indays neglecting other field losses is
The effective length of a circular electric pole of length L and constant diameters erected on ground is,
In a BOD test, 5 ml of waste is added toml of aerated pure water. Initial dissolved oxygen (D.O) content of the diluted sample is 7.8 mg/l. After 5 days of incubation at 20°C, the D.O. content of the sample is reduced to 4.4 mg/l. The BOD of the waste water is :
