The transmissibility is 35 m2/day. 3. The volume of water lost from storage per metre drop in the water table per 100 km2 area of the aquifer is 20 million m3. Which of the above statements are correct?

Option 1 : 1 and 3 only

Statement I- True

Porosity = Specific yield + Specific Retention

Porosity = 20 + 15 = 35 %

Statement II-False

Transmissibility is the property of Confined aquifer and it is product of permeability and depth of confined aquifer.

Statement III-False

Volume of water loss = Specific yield × Volume of soil

Volume of water loss = 0.2 × 1 × 100 × 10⁶

Volume of water loss = 20 Million m³.

Permeability in concrete is studied towards providing for, or guarding against, which of the following features 1. The penetration by materials in solution may adversely affect the durability of concrete; moreover, aggressive liquids 'attack' the concrete. 2. In the case of reinforced concrete, ingress of moisture and air will result in corrosion of steel leading to an increase in the volume of steel, resulting in cracking and swilling of the concrete cover. 3. The moisture penetration depends on permeability and if the concrete can become saturated with water it is less vulnerable to frost action.?
