Hgl is above the center line because it is the addition of pressure head & static head.

In case of open channel, HGL coincides with water surface.

True is the right answer.

Yes, true is the correct answer.

The HGL should always lie above the profile. If it does not, the water may still flow but in sections where the profile lies above the gradient, a negative pressure ensues that can cause air or contaminants to enter the pipeline. Sections of the pipeline where negative pressures occur should be redesigned.

HGL always above the centre line of pipe.

Well HGL is static head + pressure head, so it can be below the center line of pipe, right?

It may be vacuum pressure at a point inside the pipe, example -in case of flow through internal or external mouthpiece when flow head is more than 7.5m.

It is True, due to existence of positive and negative pressure.
