Cavitation is caused by
Two completely penetrating wells are located L (in metres) apart, in homogeneous confined aquifer. The drawdown measured at the mid point between the two wells (at a distance of 0.5 L from both the wells) is 2.0 m when only the first well is being pumped at the steady rate of Q1 m3/sec. When both the wells are being pumped at identical steady rate of Q2 m3/sec, the drawdown measured at the same location is 8, 0 m. It may be assumed that the drawdown at the wells always remains at 10.0 m when being pumped and the radius of influence is larger than 0.5 L Q1/Q2 is equal to
A test plate 30 cm x 30 cm resting on a sand deposit settles by 10 mm under a certain loading intensity. A footing 150 cm x 200 cm resting on the same sand deposit and loaded to the same load intensity settles by

Flow at critical depth takes place in an open channel When
Temporary hardness in water is caused by the presence of
The soils most susceptible to liquefaction are :
A volume of 3.0 x 106 m3 of ground water was pumped out from an unconfined aquifer, uniformly from an area of 5 km2. The pumping lowered the water table from initial level of 102 m to 99 m. The specific yield of the aquifier is
