Advantages of Steel versus concrete tanks?
Concrete water tank has rough surface so collects dirt and bacteria.It's base line cracks result in water contamination. And flat bottom will not allow complete drainage of hose pressure water with chemicals resulting in contamination of incoming water.So chlorine causes degradation of the tank surface that provides room for bacteria growth.
What is hydrographic surveying?
In civil engineering, measurement of earth surface under water. Eventually, it leads to calculation of volume of water held (or flowing through) depressions on earth surface. Since, underwater surfaces are not directly accessible for measurement a separate technology called sounding is used to measure the depth of surface from water surface. Sounding methods may vary from running a long string with a sink to the bed of water body to sending an ultrasonic vibration to measure the time of return.
Would you expect the suction in the soil to be 0 at any time?
Soil suction is zero at the phreatic surface. This is the point where the pore water pressure is equal to the pore air pressure. Above this surface pore water pressure becomes increasingly negative compared to pore air pressure and as such matric suctions develop. Below the phreatic surface the pore water pressure becomes increasingly positive and the pore spaces are totally saturated.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of water supply from rivers reservoirs and groundwater?
