This document is an exam for a Water Resources Engineering and Hydrology course. It contains 5 questions with multiple parts each. Question 1 asks about the hydrologic cycle, unit hydrograph theory, and engineering measures for flood control. Question 2 covers infiltration factors, rain gauge use, and unit hydrograph calculations. Question 3 defines hydrologic terms and discusses reservoir storage zones, hydropower project components, and sediment control methods. Question 4 defines aquifer terms, compares runoff plants and storage plants, and explains reservoir capacity curves. Question 5 discusses channel routing, water resources planning, and measures for water conservation in scarce regions.
