Outlines Of Presentation

• Introduction
• Aims and Objectives
• Scopes
• Methodology of Study
Introduction

• An irrigation canal is a man-made hydraulic system which is


designed to transport water from water sources, like a dam
or river, to various people. These canals are constructed as
artificial channels that facilitate the distribution of water for
irrigation purposes.
Aims and Objectives

• Problems related to the existing irrigation facilities in


selected area from the view point of policy system
and technical aspect are to be grasped and clarified
through survey and collection of data.Object is to
support smooth enforcement of designing of
irrigation canal.
• Arranging the problem of existing irrigation facilities
and the cause of issue on every stage of investigation,
plan, design, construction, and maintenance
respectively, standard design manual of irrigation
canal should be made included the measure
corresponding to these problem.
• Confirming the capacity of technical staff and
material/tools which can be obtained locally by
execution of suvery in cooperation with Counter Part
engineer, this standard design considers Tanzanian
situation.
Scopes

• This manual covers standard design of the open


canals such as lining canal mainly.Especially, the
method for decision of canal cross-section using
calculation chart based on the direct calculation
method will be described. In addition, division
structure and drop structure are attached as
incidental structure.
• The scope of irrigation canal is as Table 1-1. Because
this manual relatively intends for the small canal of
the scale as it is listed, larger scale irrigation facilities
more than this range needs original design
separately.
• Table 1-1 Scope of application

Item Scope of application Remark

Canal system Open canal Open canal generally has advantages


compared with other water conveying
facilities

Design discharge 0.2 – 2.0 m3 / sec Intending for small irrigation scheme
less than about 500ha of beneficial
area, main canal and secondary canal
can be applied.
Methodology

• The design considerations naturally vary according to


the type of soil.
• Velocity of flow in the canal should be critical.
• Design of canals which are known as ‘Kennedy’s
theory’ and ‘Lacey’s theory’ are based on the
characteristics of sediment load in canal water.
• Silt factor
• Mean velocity
• Critical velocity
• Hydraulic mean depth
Silt Factor
• During the investigations works in various canals in soil,
Gerald Lacey established the effect of silt on the
determination of discharge and the canal section.So,
Lacey introduced a factor which is known as ‘silt
factor’.It depends on the mean particle size of silt.It is
denoted by ‘f’. The silt factor is determined by the
expression,
f = 1.76 √dmm
Where dmm= mean particle size of silt in mm

Particle Particle size (mm) Silt factor (f)

Very fine silt 0.05 0.4

Fine silt 0.12 0.6

Medium silt 0.23 0.85

Coarse silt 0.32 1.00


Mean Velocity
• It is found by observations that the velocity at a depth 0.6D
represents the mean velocity (V), where ‘D’ is the depth of water in
canal river.

a) Mean Velocity by Chezy’s expression;


• V = C √ RS
• Where ,
• V = mean velocity in m/sec
• C = Chezy’s constant
• R = hydraulic mean depth in m
• S = bed slope of canal as 1 in n.

• Again the Chezy’s constant ‘C’ can be calculated by


• (a) Bazin’s Formula:
87
•C= 𝐾 Where, K = Bazin’s constan
1+
√𝑅
• R = hydraulic mean depth

a) Mean Velocity by Manning’s expression;


• V = 1/n R2/3 S1/2
Discharge by the following equations

• Q=AxV
Where , Q = discharge in cumec
A = cross-sectional area of water
section in m2
V = mean velocity in m/sec

Critical velocity
When the velocity of flow is such that there is no silting
or scouring action in the canal bed, then that velocity
is known as critical velocity.It is denoted by ‘V0’.The value
of ‘V0’ is given by Kennedy according to the following
expression ,

V0 = 0.546 x D0.64

Where, D = Depth of water


Hydraulic Mean Depth/Ratio

The ratio of the cross-sectional area of flow to the wetted


perimeter of the canal is known as hydraulic mean depth or
radius.It is generally denoted by ‘R’.

R = A/P
Where , A = cross-sectional area
P = wetted perimeter
