    This document appears to be an examination for a design of hydraulic structures course. It contains 8 questions across two parts (A and B) related to hydraulic structures. Some of the topics covered in the questions include: deriving an expression for balancing depth in canals, explaining types of cross-drainage works and Mitra's method of transition, checking stability of a gravity dam section, purposes and joints in gravity dams, causes of failure of earth dams, designing a spillway and Sarda fall, and designing head and cross-regulators. Diagrams and calculations are also involved in some of the questions.
