only upto a certain depth below ground level. Below that level, there is
neither shrinking nor swelling.

stations in the catchments for an admissible 10% error in the estimation of the
mean rainfall will be
B. 6
D.12
A. 3
C. 9
15. Consider the following statements which are related to the
phenomenon of cavitation influid flow:
1. Cavitation occurs when local velocity is decreased so that
local pressure increases to a high degree.
