Design of Canal Transitions
A canal from source to destination may be of several hundred kilometers. The discharge in the canal varies along the length due to diversion and losses; therefore, a reduced canal section matching with the discharge is adopted. Canal section may also change at flumes, siphons, and aqueducts. A canal transition involving an expansion or contraction of the section is required whenever there is change in the canal section. A transition is a structure of short length; thus, the cost aspect of transitions is not considered in their design. This chapter gives design procedure for both contraction and expansion transitions.
