Question 1: In a drip irrigation system, what is the purpose of air vents at the end of lateral lines?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To reduce water evaporation from the system

To filter the water before it reaches the emitter

To increase the pressure at the emitter

To allow trapped air to escape, preventing water flow issues

Question 2: Which component in a drip irrigation system is most susceptible to damage from UV exposure?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The pressure regulator

The control valves

The tubing and emitters

The mainline filter

Question 3: In maintaining a drip irrigation system, what is the recommended procedure for cleaning clogged emitters?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use acid flushing to dissolve mineral deposits

Use a high-pressure water flush

Disassemble and scrub each emitter manually

Soak the emitters in chlorine solution

Question 4: What is the impact of soil salinity on irrigation efficiency in agriculture?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the soil's ability to hold water and affects plant uptake

It enhances water infiltration and reduces runoff

It increases the water retention capacity of the soil

It has no effect on the irrigation process

Question 5: What is the role of an irrigation audit in managing irrigation efficiency?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To identify inefficiencies and areas for system improvement

To assess the cost of water usage

To monitor the crop growth rate

To increase the water distribution uniformity

Question 6: What is the primary consideration when designing an irrigation system for a field with variable soil types?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ensuring adequate water coverage for all soil types

Minimizing emitter flow rates to avoid over-watering

Using higher pressure to compensate for soil variability

Using different emitter types for different soil sections
