Question 1: In drip irrigation systems, what is the primary maintenance task to ensure optimal emitter performance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Installing additional filters

Increasing water pressure to overcome clogging

Replacing emitters with larger models

Regular cleaning and flushing of the system

Question 2: How does the installation of a filter system impact the efficiency of a drip irrigation system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It prevents emitter clogging and ensures uniform water distribution

It increases the flow rate and water consumption

It reduces the efficiency by increasing system complexity

It limits the water volume that can be applied to the field

Question 3: What should be the minimum filtration level for water entering a drip irrigation system to avoid emitter clogging?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

60 mesh or coarser

120 mesh or finer

100 mesh or finer

200 mesh or finer

Question 4: What is the best method for assessing water availability for irrigation in a catchment area?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Using a combination of flow measurements, reservoir storage data, and climate data

Estimating water availability based on historical rainfall data

Monitoring the irrigation efficiency of neighboring farms

Relying on soil moisture content measurements alone

Question 5: How often should pressure regulators be inspected in an irrigation system to ensure optimal operation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Monthly

Annually

Every five years

Quarterly

Question 6: What is the primary challenge when designing an irrigation system for an area with fluctuating water availability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Maximizing water application efficiency to prevent excess waste

Installing automated irrigation schedules to regulate water use

Designing a system that uses less energy for water distribution

Ensuring sufficient water storage capacity to meet demand during shortages
