Sample Answer
One evening family swim, we had about 65 people in the water and a 12‑year‑old in the lap lane started showing signs of exhaustion. I noticed his stroke deteriorate and his head dipping below the surface every few breaths. I gave a single long whistle, signaled my stand‑by guard with the cross‑arms distress signal, and entered with a compact jump and tube. He was responsive but panicked, so I used a rear approach and tow to the wall while my partner cleared a 2‑lane zone and alerted the MOD per our EAP. On deck, we moved him to a bench, took vitals, and monitored for 15 minutes while his breathing normalized. I documented the incident and later that week updated our shift procedures: we added 10‑minute fatigue checks for younger lap swimmers during peak times and tightened our scanning pattern breaks from 20 minutes to 15. Over the next month, near‑miss reports in lap lanes dropped by about 40%.

Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat. Walk me through each step: from reference evapotranspiration estimation, crop coefficient selection, effective rainfall calculation, to arriving at canal discharge for a given command area.
In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
