Optimization of Sukla Irrigation Canal
Canals are the most important and major element for delivering water in an irrigation system. A substantial amount of investment is required depending on its length and cross section. So, cross-sectional design of the canal should be carried out on an optimization basis. An economic canal section is the one which requires the smallest amount of total construction cost. The total cost of construction of the canal includes excavation cost and surface lining cost, apart from labour and maintenance. So, open channel design is specially needed for determination of optimum dimensions of the canal and to construct the canal section with minimum cost of construction to convey the specified discharge. A nonlinear optimization model considering data of Sukla Irrigation Project is prepared. The objective function for the model is the total minimum cost of construction per unit length. The model is then solved in Microsoft Excel solver platform considering various constraints to obtain the minimum cost of construction per unit length of the channel and minimum dimensions of cross sections.
