My query is from Earthwork and Estimation in section Irrigation Works, Culverts, Bridges and Wells of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) False

Best explanation: Subsurface Textile Irrigation (SSTI) is a technology designed specifically for subirrigation in all soil textures from desert sands to heavy clays. A typical subsurface textile irrigation system has an impermeable base layer (usually polyethylene or polypropylene), a drip line running along that base, a layer of geotextile on top of the drip line and, finally, a narrow impermeable layer on top of the geotextile.
