Question

Match Column X with Column Y: Column X Column Y (P) Horton equation (I) Design of alluvial channel (Q) Penman method (II) Maximum flood discharge (R) Chezy’s formula (III) Evapotranspiration (S) Lacey’s theory (IV) Infiltration (T) Dicken’s formula (V) Flow velocity Which one of the following combinations is correct?

Column X	Column Y
(P) Horton equation	(I) Design of alluvial channel
(Q) Penman method	(II) Maximum flood discharge
(R) Chezy’s formula	(III) Evapotranspiration
(S) Lacey’s theory	(IV) Infiltration
(T) Dicken’s formula	(V) Flow velocity

Correct answer (A) (P)-(IV), (Q)-(III), (R)-(V), (S)-(I), (T)-(II) Solution The correct matches are: (P) Horton equation : Used to model (IV) Infiltration capacity of soil over time. (Q) Penman method : A widely used method to estimate (III) Evapotranspiration based on energy balance and mass transfer. (R) Chezy’s formula : An empirical formula used to calculate (V) Flow velocity in open channels. (S) Lacey’s theory : Provides a set of equations for the (I) Design of alluvial channels . (T) Dicken’s formula : An empirical formula used to estimate the (II) Maximum flood discharge from a catchment. Thus, the correct combination is (P)-(IV), (Q)-(III), (R)-(V), (S)-(I), (T)-(II).
