Attempt all the questions.
1. a) Describe briefly the various components of water supply scheme with the 7
aid of neat sketch. Elaborate the importance of public water supply
scheme in the present day of civil life.
b) Enumerate the various forms in which ground water occurs in nature. 8
Describe briefly the exploitation of its most important source for rural
water supply scheme.
2. a) Describe the factors affecting Rate of water demand? 5
