Sample Answer
Situation: I inherited a jQuery-heavy SPA with global CSS, shared by 5 teams, blocking new features due to regressions. Task: Gradually migrate to React + TypeScript + Webpack without feature freeze. Action: I first introduced a minimal build step (Webpack + Babel) wrapping the existing app, added Jest + Cypress and raised test coverage from 8% to 45% on critical flows. Next, I created a React micro-frontend shell and migrated one low-risk module (settings) behind a feature flag, using a shared design system and CSS Modules. We enforced TypeScript on all new code and added ESLint/Prettier + visual regression tests in CI. Result: Within 6 months, 60% of the UI was on React/TS, production incidents dropped 40%, and lead time for UI changes improved from 5 days to 2 days while continuously shipping features.

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.
