Irrigation and drainage engineering measures are required to control damage from draught, water logging, saline, and alkali, which are accomplished by construction corresponding works of water diversion and distribution. There are various irrigation and drainage works, including water intakes from water sources, canals for water conveyance, regulating sluices for water-level controlling, diversion sluices and check gates (delivery gates) for discharge controlling, flumes and weirs for discharge measuring, protection works such as release sluices (escape sluices) and overchutes for the normal and safe operating of canals, cross-drainage works (e.g., aqueducts, bridges, inverted siphons, and culverts) for conveying water across a natural depression or under a road and canal, and drop structures (chutes and drops) for conveying water from a higher elevation to a lower elevation and to dissipate excess energy resulting from the drops.
