Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a non-modular outlet?

   Hint

   Think about the water levels in a canal and a field channel.

2. 2.

   Name one advantage of non-modular outlets.

   Hint

   Consider why some outlets are simpler than others.

3. 3.

   What does a non-modular outlet depend on for its discharge?

   • Only upstream water level
   • Only downstream water level
   • Both upstream and downstream water levels

   Hint

   Remember the acronym RMDL!

4. 4.

   True or False: Non-modular outlets are always the most accurate for modern irrigation.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider what precision requires.

5. 5.

   Analyze a scenario where the downstream level rises unexpectedly. How would this impact the farmers relying on non-modular outlets?

   Hint

   Think about the water distribution among different users.

6. 6.

   Design a small irrigation system using non-modular outlets and outline the potential limitations due to their nature.

   Hint

   Focus on how the design can lead to challenges.
