Hydraulic Design of Canal Regulating and Cross-Drainage Structures for Economy and Efficiency

Numerous hydraulic structures are to be provided in all irrigation canal systems for conveyance of water. Conventional hydraulic design of these structures are costly and their performance too are not satisfactory. Performance of the conventional practice for hydraulic design of the canal regulating and cross-drainage structures has been critically examined. Some innovative hydraulic design of a canal fall-a regulating structure and an aqueduct -a cross-drainage structure have been suggested for achieving economy and efficiency.
