Model and Prototype Studies of Sand Traps
The deposition of water-borne gravel, sand, and silt has long been recognized as one of the most troublesome problems incident to the operation and maintenance of many of the irrigation and power canals of the west. Inordinate expenditures of time, labor, and money are made annually on this account. The reduction in, the carrying capacity of a canal used for the delivery of water either for irrigation or for power means direct financial loss. In some cases periodic cleaning of the channels has resulted in such an accumulation that the spoil banks are approaching a limiting condition.
