Simple Questions Q21-Q30 – Water Resources Engineering Exam

(21) The population of a city is 10,000 people. What is the approximate annual demand for potable water?

  • 3000 MCM
  • 50 MCM
  • 0,7 MCM
  • 60 MCM

(22) Which of the following average annual rainfall values are reasonable for the island of Crete?

  • 55 cm (SD=40)
  • 56 cm (SD=15)
  • 20 cm (SD=5)
  • 130 cm (SD=60)

(23) Approximately, how much is the annual water consumption in Cyprus?

  • 10 MCM
  • 80 MCM
  • 270 MCM
  • 820 MCM

(24) Based on the graph below from 2007 to 2009 the irrigation consumption in Cyprus was very low. What is the reason for that?

  • Those years were very rainy and the fields did not require much water for irrigation.
  • There was a boom in the construction sector and many farmers made a career shift to construction.
  • The WDD had very little water for irrigation because the years were dry and the water reserves were very low.
  • Improved irrigation systems were introduced that reduced water consumption.
