Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): Water erosion is due to the dispersive action and transporting power of water as it descends in rain and leaves the land in the form of run-off.
Reason (R): Water erosion is caused by people who remove protective plant covers by tillage operation, burning crop residues, over grazing, over cutting forests, etc.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): From the construction point of view, the open well may be classified into three types: well with impervious lining, well with pervious lining and well with no lining.
Reason (R): The impervious lining provides most stable and useful type of well for obtaining water supply.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): The amount of soil erosion depends upon a combination of the power of rain or wind to cause erosion and the ability of the soil to withstand the impact.
Reason (R): The soil and water conservation falls into two categories, viz. agronomic measures and mechanical protection measures.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): Contour strip cropping is the growing of erosion permitting crops in strips of suitable widths across the slope on contour, alternating with strips of soil protecting and erosion resisting crops.
Reason (R): It shortens the length of the slope, checks movements of run-off, helps desilt if increases the absorption of rain water.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): The information that is essential for any drainage investigations are topographic maps, soil survey and geological report, well logs and water table fluctuations, irrigation and drainage maps, climatological and meteorological data and information regarding irrigation methods.
Reason (R): The reconnaissance survey consists of moving around the area, inquiries from local people and to locate on the base map information about physical boundaries, cropping conditions, etc.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): Remote sensing and GIS applications have potential for rapid monitoring of spatial and temporal variations in land features.
Reason (R): The GIS permits multi-layer maps of various features of investigation that help in developing alternative plans for drainage system design and layout.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): Soil water is the most predominant and limiting factor for crop production. The goal of a soil-water-plant continuum is to maintain the soil water between field capacity and wilting point.
Reason (R): Most of the plants withdraw water from the soils until soil moisture pressure reaches about 15 bars.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): The currently used methods for scheduling irrigation are water budget method, soil moisture measurement based, computer models based, keeping a chart and plant-based irrigation method.
Reason (R): To achieve better productivity, it is important to work out an efficient and economic irrigation schedule for water use under any given set of agroclimatic condition.
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): Remote sensing is the study of any object without making actual contact with the object under consideration.
Reason (R): The electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted from the object is a common source of remote sensing apart from other sources such as gravity or magnetic fields.
