Note: 1. Question Paper consists of two parts (Part-A and Part-B)
2. Answer ALL the question in Part-A
3. Answer any FOUR Questions from Part-B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PART –A
1. a) What are the different stages of gully development? [2M]
b) What are the main difference between terrace and bunds. [2M]
c) Determine the time of concentration (Tc) for the watershed having length of 1500 m [2M]
and longest water course slope is 0.6%.
d) Enlist the different gully control structures? [3M]
e) Estimate the peak rate of runoff (m3/s) from the watershed having an area of 40 km2, [3M]
runoff coefficient is 0.40 and rainfall intensity is 4 cm/h.
f) Enlist the different soil loss measurement tools. [2M]
PART –B
2. a) Define soil erosion and describe the factors influencing water erosion. [7M]
b) Explain the Universal Soil Loss Equation for predicting soil loss. [7M]

3. a) What is mean by gully and describe the classifications of gully. [7M]


b) Draw a straight drop spillway showing structural components and give the function of [7M]
these components.

4. a) What do you understand by Bunding? Briefly explain about different type of bunds? [7M]
b) Calculate the total length and earthwork of contour bund per hectare which is to be [7M]
constructed on 5% land slope. The bund’s spacing is to be maintained as 25 m, top
width is 50 cm, bottom width is 125 cm, and height of bund is 100 cm, consider the
lateral and side bunds also constructed in the field.
