Question 1: What is the primary advantage of using rainwater harvesting systems in agricultural water management?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces water evaporation and leakage in irrigation systems

It reduces dependency on surface and groundwater sources

It allows irrigation systems to function without maintenance

It improves soil structure and increases plant growth

Question 2: How do you determine the proper pump size when designing an irrigation system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Based on the water storage capacity of the reservoir

Based on the diameter of the irrigation pipes

Based on the total pressure head and flow rate required

Based on the available power supply

Question 3: What is the impact of using low-quality irrigation pipes in a system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Increased water pressure required to maintain flow

Reduced energy consumption due to smoother flow

Higher water efficiency

Increased system failures due to wear and tear
