01. The domestic use of water amounts to ________ of the total water requirements per

capita per day


(a) 40 % (b) 50 %

(c) 20 % (d) 30 %
Ans. B

Sol. Total domestic water consumption usually amounts to 50 - 60% of the total water
consumption.

02. Freeman's formula for estimating the fire demand (Q) in I p.m. is given by
P
(a) Q = 1136 (10 + 10)
P
(b) Q = 2500 (5 + 10)

(c) Q = 2715√P

(d) Q = 3175√P

P = population in thousands

Ans. A
Sol. Freeman's formula,

P
⇒ Q = 1136 (10 + 10)

Kuichling formula,

⇒ Q = 3182√P

P = Population in thousands

03. Which one of the following methods gives the best estimate of population growth
of a community with limited land area for future expansion?

(a) Arithmetical increase method


(b) Geometrical increase method

(c) Incremental increase method

(d) Logistic method


Ans. D

Sol. Since the area is limited and there is no time period specified for population
estimation. therefore logistic curve method will be the best.

04. The formula, which is most appropriate for the design of pressure pipes is

(a) Darcy Weisbach formula (b) Mannings formula


(c) Chezy's formula (d) Dupuit's formula

Ans. A
Sol. Darcy-Weisbach formula is used to compute head loss in certain section of a pipe
length.

flv2
Ht =
2gd

05. The internal pressure, to which a water supply pipe is subjected to, is

(a) full hydrostatic pressure when water in the pipe is at rest

(b) pressure head and velocity head in the pipe, when flow at full velocity is taking
place

(c) a + water hammer pressure

(d) b + water hammer pressure


Ans. C

Sol. The internal pressure within a pipe is caused by the water head to which the pipe
can be subjected and the additional transient pressures. The maximum internal

pressure under worst circumstances is sum of full static pressure and the water
hammer pressure.

06. The valve, which allows the flow only in one direction, is a

(a) reflux valve (b) sluice valve


(c) gate valve (d) None of these

Ans. A
Sol. Check values or Reflux valves: Check valves are sometimes called non-return valves

because they prevent water to flow back in the opposite direction. They may be
installed on the delivery side of the pumping set, so as to prevent the back flow of

stored or pumped water, when the pump is stopped.

07. The valve, which is provided in the water distributing pipes at street corners and
pips junctions to control the flow in the distribution system, is

(a) an air valve


(b) a sluice valve

(c) a scour valve


(d) a reflux valve

Ans. A
Sol. Sluice valves are used to regulate the flow of water through the pipes. They are

usually placed at the summits.

08. Scour valves are provided


(a) at the street corners to control the flow

(b) at the dead ends to drain out the wastewater


(c) at every summit of the rising main

(d) at the foot of the rising main along the slope, to prevent back running of water
Ans. B

Sol. In order to remove the entire water from within a pipe (after closing the supply),
small gated off-takes are provided at low points. These valves are known as blow

off valves or drain valves or scour valves. These valves, are necessary at low level

points for completely emptying the pipe for inspection, repairs, etc.

09. Cast iron pipes having plain ends, are joined by a joint, called
(a) flanged joint

(b) spigot and socket joint


(c) dresser coupling

(d) None of these


Ans. C

Sol. This type of a joint is used when it is required to join the plain ends of cast iron
pipes. The joints are strong and rigid. They can withstand vibrations and are,

therefore, useful for pipes to be carried over bridges or below bridges in hangers.

10. Consider the following statements: The basic difference between water pipes and
sewer pipes is

1. in the material used for the pipes


2. in the pressure of the liquid flow

3. in the suspended solids they carry Which of these statements is/are correct?
(a) 1 and 3 (b) 1 only

(c) 2 and 3 (d) 1, 2 and 3


Ans. C

Sol. Cast iron pipes can be used for both water pipes and sewer pipes. However the
basic difference is pressure flow in water pipe and suspended solids carried in

sewage.
