Irrigation Works - The Principles on Which Their Design and Working Should Be Based, with Special Details Relating to Indian Canals and Some Proposed Improvements

The largest irrigation canals are fed from perennial rivers. When the canal flows throughout the year it is called a Perennial Canal. Chief among these are the canals of India and particularly those of Northern India, some of which have bed widths ranging up to 300 feet, depths of water up to 11 feet and discharges up to 10,000 c. ft. per second. Other large canals as for instance many of those in Scinde, Egypt and the Punjab, though fed from perennial rivers, flow only when the rivers are high. These are called Inundation Canals. Many canals, generally of moderate or small size, in other countries and notably in the Western States of America, in Italy, Spain, France and South Africa, are fed from rivers and great numbers of small canals from reservoirs in which streams or rain-water have been impounded. Sometimes water for irrigation is pumped from wells and conveyed in small canals. In Australia a good deal of irrigation is effected from artesian wells. Irrigation works on a considerable scale are being undertaken in Mexico and the Argentine. In this book, irrigation works of various countries are referred to and to some extent described, but the perennial canal of Northern India, with its distributaries, is the type taken as a basis for the description of the principles and methods which should be adopted in the design, working and improvement of irrigation channels and it is to be[2] understood that such a canal is being referred to where the context does not indicate the contrary. Any reader who is concerned with irrigation in some other part of the world will be able to judge for himself how far these principles and methods require modification. The branches and distributariesall of which are dealt withof a large perennial canal cover all possible sizes. Chapter II. of this book deals with the design of canals and Chapter III. with the working of canals but as the two subjects are to some extent interdependent, they will both be dealt with in a preliminary manner in the remaining articles of the present Chapter. Chapter IV. describes the Punjab Triple Canal Project.[1] Chapter V. deals with certain proposed improvements in the working of canals. The head of a canal has to be so high up the river that, when the canal is suitably graded, the water level will come out high enough to irrigate the tract of land concerned. If a river has a general slope of a foot per mile and if the adjoining country has the same slope and is a foot higher than the water level of the river, and if a canal is made at a very acute angle with the river, with a slope of half a foot per mile, the water level about two miles from the canal head will be level with the ground. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
