In the context of the effect of drainage density on the run-off generation and the hydrograph at the catchment outlet, all other factors remaining the same, pick one or more CORRECT statement(s) from the choices given below.

A
Lower drainage density results in higher peak in flood hydrograph compared to that when the drainage density is higher.
B
Lower drainage density results in lower peak in flood hydrograph compared to that when the drainage density is higher.
C
Lower drainage density results in a flood hydrograph with a longer time base compared to that when the drainage density is higher.
D
Lower drainage density results in a flood hydrograph with a shorter time base compared to that when the drainage density is higher.

A 60 cm diameter well completely penetrates a confined aquifer of permeability $5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The length of the strainer (spanning the entire thickness of the aquifer) is 10 m . The drawdown at the well under steady state pumping is 1.0 m . Assume that the radius of influence for this pumping is 300 m .

The discharge from the well (in litres per minute) is ________ (round off to the nearest integer).

The peak of flood hydrograph due to a 3 -hour duration storm in a catchment is $180 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}$. The total rainfall depth is 6.6 cm . It can be assumed that the average infiltration loss is $0.2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{h}$. There are no other losses. The base flow is constant at a value of $30 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}$.

The peak value of the 3-hour unit hydrograph for this catchment (in $\mathrm{m}^3 / \mathrm{s}$ ) is ________ (round off to the nearest integer).

Pick one or more CORRECT statement(s) from the choices given below, in the context of upstream and downstream cut-offs provided below the concrete apron of weirs/barrages constructed across alluvial rivers.
A
Cut-offs are provided to increase the rate of flow over the weir / barrage.
B
Cut-offs are provided to increase the seepage length and prevent failure due to piping.
C
The bottom level of cut-offs mainly depends on the scour depth.
D
Cut-offs are provided to ensure occurrence of hydraulic jump within the stilling basin.
