Irrigation MCQs
19. Inundation irrigation system is functional all through the year.

1) True  2) False

Ans. 2

Explanation: Inundation canal gets water which flows from a flooded river only. These are then discharged into the fields. Only if rivers are flooded (rainy season), these are functional.

Ans.3

Explanation: In drip irrigation nowadays, a plastic mulch is incorporated which reduces evaporation and is a means of delivering fertilizers. Hence, the process fertigation.

21. The field water efficiency is determined by:

(1) Water transpired by crop – water applied to a field

(2) (Water absorbed by crop ÷ water applied to a field) x 100%

(3) Water absorbed by crop – water applied to a field

(4) (Water transpired by crop ÷ water applied to a field) x 100%

Ans. 4

Explanation: The field water efficiency is the way to determine if the method of irrigation is efficient. It is determined by using the formula (water transpired by crop ÷ water applied to a field) x 100%. It is expressed in %.

Ans. 3

Explanation: Drip irrigation is also called trickle irrigation. If this system is managed correctly, the field water efficiency can be as high as 80-90%.

(4) It causes the cycle to decelerate.

Ans. 3

25.Which of the following is the largest reservoir within the hydrologic cycle?

(1) Ice sheets       (2) Oceans

(3) Groundwater  (4) ∆tmosphere

Ans. 2

Explanation: The hydrologic cycle can be thought of as a series of reservoirs, or storage areas, and a set of processes that cause water to move between those reservoirs. The largest reservoir by far is the oceans, which hold about 97% of Earth’s water.

26. Most of the earth’s fresh water stored is in _____today?

(1) In polar ice sheets

(2) In rivers and lakes

(3) In the oceans

(4) In groundwater

Ans. 1

27. The process by which water is taken up by plants and released into the atmosphere is called

(1) Condensation.

(2) Evaporation.

(3) Precipitation.
