General Principles of Canal Design
In design of canals, various factors are considered, for example, the kind of material forming the channel surface which determines the roughness coefficient; the minimum permissible velocity to avoid deposition of silt or debris; the limiting velocity to avoid erosion of the channel surface; and the topography of the channel route which fixes the channel bed slope. This chapter describes general principles of canal design, which includes essential input parameters, and safety and system constraints. Canal discharge is the most important parameter in designing a canal. The chapter presents how to determine design discharge for irrigation canals and power canals. Also, the detailed information on canal lining and material selection, drainage and pressure relief arrangements, requirements on canal banks and freeboard, longitudinal bed slope, canal section shape selection, typical canal layout, and necessity of cross-drainage works is included in this chapter.
