Paper format. 98-Civ-B5 Water Supply and Wastewater Engineering, National Examination, May 2014. Three hours; closed book with one aid sheet written on both sides; approved calculator permitted. Question 1 is compulsory and the candidate then attempts any three of Questions 2–5. Every question carries 25 marks, so the paper is marked out of 100. All five questions are solved below — the set is a study resource, not a three-hour sitting.
