Sample Answer
Context: At Meridian Health (internal product suite of 12 apps) I inherited a fragmented palette where primary CTA blues ranged from #0A66FF to #1B8CFF across products, causing accessibility failures and brand dilution. Task: I was charged with auditing, standardizing, and rolling out a corrected color system within a quarter. Action: I ran an automated token audit using a Figma plugin (Design Tokens | Tokens Studio) and a CSS scan (custom script + stylelint) to inventory 320 color uses. I mapped instances to components in Storybook and computed WCAG contrast for each. I proposed a 12-token system (Primary, Secondary, Accent, Neutral scales with 10-step ramps) using Adobe Color + contrast-checker and validated accessible pairs (AA/AAA targets) for UI states. I created tokens in JSON, published to a shared npm package and built a Storybook theme with Chromatic visual tests. I launched a two-week developer handoff: migration guide, codemods to replace hexes with tokens, and two workshops. Result: Within 10 weeks, token adoption reached 88% of high-impact components, accessibility contrast errors dropped 92%, and release velocity improved (fewer color-related regressions) — reducing QA rework by an estimated 18 hours/month.

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.
