INTRODUCTION TO IRRIGATION CHANNELS
Irrigation
Artificial application of water to land for raising crops for food and fiber is called irrigation.
Drainage
Artificial removal of excess water from land to improve soil moisture conditions and for healthy plant growth is called drainage.
Channel
Channel is a natural or artificial passage in the ground for flow of water. Various types of artificial channels are:
• Open Channel
• Alluvial Channel
• Stable Channel
• Irrigation Channel
• Power Channel
• Lined Channel
• Unlined Channel
• Drainage Channel
• Sewerage Channel
• Flood Carrier Channel
6
Open Channel
Open Channel is a channel which has open top and free water surface subjected only to atmospheric pressure. Flow in open channel is caused by gravity component along bed slope of channel. Various types of open channel are:
• Rivers
• Canals
• Sewers
• Tunnels
• Pipelines
Alluvial Channel
Alluvial channel is a channel in which flow transports sediment having same characteristics as that of material in channel bottom.
Stable Channel
Stable alluvial channel is a channel in which sediment inflow into channel reach is equal to sediment out flow. Therefore, channel cross section and bed slope do not change due to erosion or deposition.
7
Irrigation Channel
Channel conveying water for irrigation is called irrigation channel. Various types of irrigation channel are:
• Canals
• Chutes
• Flumes
• Tunnels
Canal
Canal is an artificial earthen channel having mild slope usually trapezoidal in section, constructed on ground to carry water over long distance from source for:
• Irrigation
• Hydropower
• Water Supply
• Drainage
• Flood Control
Flume
Channel supported above ground and built at wood, metal or concrete is called flume.
8
Power Channel
Channel conveying water for power generation is called power channel.
Lined Channel
Channel whose prism has been protected with impervious material mainly to stop seepage through it, is called lined channel.
Unlined Channel
Earthen channel whose prism has not been protected with impervious material is called lined channel.
Classification of Channels
Channels can be classified as:
• Non-erodible Channel
• Erodible Channel
• Regime Channel
Non-erodible channels are also called rigid boundary channels and erodible channels are also called loose boundary channels.
Power Channel
Channel conveying water for power generation is called power channel.
Lined Channel
Channel whose prism has been protected with impervious material mainly to stop seepage through it, is called lined channel.
Unlined Channel
Earthen channel whose prism has not been protected with impervious material is called lined channel.
Classification of Channels
Channels can be classified as:
• Non-erodible Channel
• Erodible Channel
• Regime Channel
Non-erodible channels are also called rigid boundary channels and erodible channels are also called loose boundary channels.
9
Canal System
Canal or conveyance system is a network of canals constructed to convey water from source to field for irrigation purposes.
Canals may be classified into different types such as:
Based on Flow Conditions
As per flow conditions:
• Gravity Canal• Lift Canal
Based on Canal System
As per status in canal system:
• Main Canal• Branch Canal• Distributary Canal• Minor Canal• Water Course
Based on Lining
As per status of bed and sides:
• Lined Canal• Unlined Canal
10
Based on Silt
As per silt in canal water :
• Silt Carrying Canal• Silt Free Canal
Based on Purpose
As per purpose of canal:
• Link Canal• Feeder Canal
Based on Flow
As per flow of canal:
• Perennial Canal• Non-perennial Canal
Design Approach
Two approaches are used for design of stable alluvial channels:
Empirical Approach
• Regime Theory
Rational Approach
• Tractive Force Method
11
Regime theory is empirical in nature and was based on observation on number of canals in sub continent. Tractive force approach is rational in nature, since it utilizes laws governing sediment transport and resistance to flow and was developed in Europe.
Regime
A natural channel which is neither silting nor scouring is said to be in regime. Types of regime are:
• Initial Regime
• True Regime
• Final Regime
Regime Conditions
Regime conditions are:
• Discharge is constant.
• Silt grade and charge are constant.
• Alluvium is incoherent, unlimited and of same characteristics as sediment charge carried by water.
Incoherent Alluvium
Soil composed of loose granular material, which can be scoured away with same ease with which it is deposited, is called incoherent alluvium.
12
Discharge Capacity of Irrigation Channels
Methods for fixing discharge capacity of irrigation channels are:
Irrigation Department Method
In this method capacity of each outlet is determined from its water allowance and area under its command. Discharge of outlets is added and then considering conveyance losses, full supply discharge for canal reaches is calculated.
Consumptive Use Method
In this method capacity of outlets is determined from actual water requirement of various crops in a given period of time and area under command of each outlet. The rest of procedure remains the same as above.
Recommended Velocity in Canals
Recommended velocity in canals is:
• Lined Canal = 8 fps
• Unlined Canal = 3 fps
However, flow velocity should not be less than regime velocity for silt carrying channels.
13
Recently Constructed Canals
Some recently constructed canals are:
• Chashma Right Bank Canal (CRBC)
• Pehur High Level Canal
• Ghazi Brotha Power Channel
Under Construction Canals
Some under construction canals are:
• Kachhi Canal
• Rainee Canal
• Greater Thal Canal
Proposed Canals

2. FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND EQUATIONS
17
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND EQUATIONS
Flow
Direction of movement of water in a channel is called flow. Classifications of flow are:
Classification - I
Steady Flow
If flow velocity at given point does not change with respect to time, then flow is called steady flow.
Unsteady Flow
If flow velocity at given point changes with respect to time, then flow is called unsteady flow.
Uniform Flow
If flow velocity at given instant of time does not change within given reach of channel, then flow is called uniform flow.
Non - Uniform Flow
If flow velocity at given instant of time varies with within given reach of channel, then flow is called non-uniform or varied flow.
18
Gradually Varied Flow
If flow depth varies gradually with respect to distance, then flow is called gradually varied flow e.g. reservoir behind dam.
Rapidly Varied Flow
If flow depth varies rapidly in short distances then flow is called rapidly varied flow e.g. hydraulic jump.
Classification - II
Subcritical Flow
If flow velocity is less then critical velocity, then flow is called subcritical flow, for which Fr < 1.
Critical Flow
If flow velocity is equal to critical velocity, then flow is called critical flow, for which Fr = 1.
Supercritical Flow
If flow velocity is greater than critical velocity, then flow is called supercritical flow for which Fr > 1.
Froude Number ( Fr )
Froude number is ratio of inertia and gravity forces:
Fr = V / √ g y
Where V = Velocity of flow y = Depth of flow
19
Critical Velocity ( Vc )
Flow velocity at critical depth is called critical velocity.
Vc = √ g yc
where yc = Critical depth
Critical Depth ( yc )
Flow depth producing maximum discharge for a given specific energy is called critical depth.
yc = ( q2 / g )1/3
where q = Discharge per unit width
Maximum Discharge for Given Specific Energy ( qm )
Maximum rate of discharge for given specific energy is given by:
qm = √ g yc3
Specific Energy ( E )
Total energy of a section with reference to channel bed is called specific energy.
E = y + V2 / 2g
where y = Depth of flow
V = Velocity of flow
20
Total Head ( H )
Total head is expressed as:
H = z + p / γ + V2 / 2g
where H = Total head
z = Elevation head
p / γ = Pressure head
V2/2g = Velocity head
Continuity Equation
Continuity equation for uniform flow is:
Q1 = Q2 or A1 V1 = A2 V2
Bernoulli Equation Bernoulli equation of uniform flow is::
z + p / γ + V2 / 2g = Constant
Hydraulic Jump
Hydraulic jump is formed whenever supercritical flow changes to subcritical flow.
y2 / y1 = 1/2 ( -1 + √ 1+ 8 Fr2 )
y1 = Depth before jump
y2 = Depth after jump
Fr = Froude number

3. DESIGN OF OPEN CHANNELS
25
DESIGN OF OPEN CHANNELS
Design of Open Channels
Design of open channels consists in finding depth, bed width, side slope and longitudinal slope of channel, so as to produce non-silting and non-scouring velocity for given discharge and sediment load.
Type of Channels from Design Consideration
Types of channels from design consideration are:
• Lined Channels
• Silt Carrying Channels
• Silt Free Channels
• Unlined Channels
• Silt Carrying Channels
• Silt Free Channels
Design of each type of channel is as under:
LINED CHANNELS
Silt Free Lined Channels
Lined channels carrying silt free water can be designed
by Chezy or Manning formula.
26
Chezy Formula
French Engineer Antoine Chezy in 1775 developed
following formula for velocity of flow in open channels.
V = C √ R S
Where V = Mean velocity
R = Hydraulic mean depth (A / P)
S = Bed slope of channel
C = Chezy coefficient
Kutter, Brazin and Powell developed formulae for determination of Chezy coefficient (C). This formula has been widely used for design of open channels. Many earlier canals were designed according to this formula.
Manning Formula
Irish Engineer Robert Manning in 1889 presented following formula for velocity of flow in open channels.
V = ( 1.49 / n ) R2/3 S1/2
Where V = Mean velocity in fps
R = Hydraulic mean depth in ft. (A / P)
S = Bed slope of channel
n = Manning coefficient
And Q = Discharge in cfs ( A V )
27
Due to its simplicity of form and satisfactory results, this formula was widely used for design of open channels.
Design Procedure
Procedure for design of channel by Manning formula is as follows:
Manning equation for discharge is:
Q = V A = 1.49 / n ( A R2/3 S1/2 )
From above equation:
A R2/3 = n Q / 1.49 S1/2
Left hand side of the above equation is known as section factor. For given values of n, Q and S, the above equation is solved to determine normal depth of flow. This may be done by using design charts or by trial and error method.
Silt Carrying Lined Channels
Slit carrying lined channels are also designed by Manning formula. However, mean velocity should be more than regime velocity and Froude number ( Fr ) should be less than one to ensure sub critical flow.
28
UNLINED CHANNELS
Silt Carrying Unlined Channels
Unlined channels carrying silt laden water can be designed by empirical method or by rational method.
Empirical Method
Lacey Regime Theory
Gerald Lacey, Executive Engineer in United Province, studied and analyzed data of different canal systems and developed his regime theory in 1929.
He obtained the following regime equations.
V = 1.1547 √ f RAf2 = 3.8 V5
V = (Q f2 / 3.8)1/6
He further developed the following equations:
V = 16 R2/3 S1/3
V = ( 1.346 / Na) R3/4 S1/2
Na = 0.0225 f1/4
f = 1.76 √d
29
He also derived the following equations from the above equation.
P = 2.667√ Q
A = 1.26 ( Q5/6 / f1/3 )
S = 1/1844 (f5/3 / Q1/6 )
fRS = 192 R1/3 S2/3
fVR = 0.75 ( V2 / R )
Rs = 0.474 ( Q / f )1/3
Rs = 0.90 ( q2 / f )1/3
Lacey assumed channel side slope of 1 : 1/2
Where V = Stable velocity in fps
f = Lacey silt factor
R = Hydraulic mean radius in ft( A/P)
Q = Discharge in cfs
S = Bed slope of channel
Na = Coefficient of roughness
d = Diameter of silt particles in mm
P = Wetted parameters in ft
A = Area of cross section in ft2
Rs = Depth of scour in ft
q = Discharge per unit width in cfs / ft
30
In 1934 Central Board of Irrigation adopted Lacey equations for design of stable alluvial channels and many canals were designed according to Lacey regime theory and many other were successfully remodeled. The same equations are still used to design regime channels.
Design Procedure
Procedure for design of channel by Lacey equations is as follows:
• Area is determined from A = 1.26 ( Q5/6 / f1/6 )• Perimeter is determined from P = 2.67 √ Q
• Computed values are equated to expression for P and A and resulting equations are solved to determine bed width and flow depth.
• Bed slope is determined from Lacey equation.
Further Development in Regime Theory
Further development in regime theory are:
• Lacey Shock Theory• Claude Inglis Modification• Blench and King Modification• Simons and Albertson Method• S S Kirmani Modification
However, silt carrying unlined channels are still designed according to Lacey regime theory.
31
Rational Method
Design of unlined channels by rational method method involves problem of sediment transport. Canal sections will be stable if velocity, slope and cross section are such that all sediment entering in canal is swept away from the section.
Sediment load is divided into:
• Bed Load
• Suspended Load
Separate functions have been derived by various authors for both. These functions are empirical in nature, being based on laboratory experiments and filed data.
Bed load transport formulae are :
• Duboy Formula
• Meyer - Peter Formula
• Einstein - Brown Formula
However, non of the formula has gained general acceptance. Suspended load concentration is calculated from suspended load function:
Above formula in combination with Manning and other formula are used to design channel by rational method.
32
Design of Unlined Channels as per Rational Method
These does not exist a generalized, comprehensive and well defined procedure for designed based on the above theoretical approach. Due to lack of explicit relationship between various parameters such as slope, area, sediment transport capacity, shape etc. it is essential to follow field experience. However, problem can be tackled in many ways and what follows can be considered as one possible method.
Mayer-Peter Formula Mayer-Peter Formula for bed load transport is
gs = 4700 [τo (N’/N)3/2 - τc ]3/2
gs = Rate of bed load transport in kg/m /hr
τo = Unit tacctive force in kg/m2
τc = Critical tractive force kg/m2
N’ = Coefficient of rugosity of unrippled bed= d1/6 /24, d is diameter of particles in mm
N = Coefficient of rugosity on rippled bed
= 0.02 to for discharge >15 cumecs and
0.0225 for smaller discharge
33
Other Design Methods
Other methods for design of unlined channels are:
• Permissible Velocity Method
• Tractive Force Method
• Hydraulic Design Criteria Method
Silt Free Unlined Channels
Slit free unlined channels flowing through alluvium can also be designed by Lacey equations as water can pick up silt and deposit it at lower reaches. However, lower value of silt factor ‘f’ should be used due to fine silt in such channels. Silt free unlined channels can also be designed by above methods.
Longitudinal Section of Canal
Calculated bed width, full supply depth, bed slope, mean velocity etc and other relevant information like full supply discharge, free board, roughness coefficient or silt factor, full supply level, bed level and natural surface level etc. are plotted, starting from head to tail, against reduced distances (RDs) in form of longitudinal section of canal. Locations of fall and other structures are also marked on longitudinal section of canal.

4. PERMISSIBLE VELOCITY METHOD
41
PERMISSIBLE VELOCITY METHOD
Permissible Velocity Method
In permissible velocity method, channel size is selected such that mean flow velocity for design discharge under uniform flow conditions is less than permissible velocity.
Permissible Velocity
Permissible velocity is defined as the mean velocity at or below which bottom and sides of channels are not eroded. Permissible velocity depends upon:
• Type of soil• Size of particles• Depth of flow• Curvature of channel
Maximum permissible velocities for different materials are given in the table. The values listed in the table are for straight channels having flow depth of about 3.50 ft. These values should be reduced for sinuous channels as below:
• Slightly sinuous channels = 5%• Moderately sinuous channels = 13% • Highly sinuous channels = 22%
42
For other flow depths, these velocities should be multiplied by correction factor to determine permissible flow velocity. Correction factor ‘k’ for wide channels is:
k = y1/6
where k = Correction factor
y = Depth of flow
Design Procedure
Procedure for design of channel by permissible velocity method is as follows:
• Permissible velocity is found from the table.
• Area is found from continuity equation A = Q / V and hydraulic radius ‘R’ from Manning equation.
• Wetted perimeter is determined from P = R / A.
• Computed values are equated to expressions for P and A and resulting equations are solved to determine channel bed width and depth of flow.

5. TRACTIVE FORCE METHOD
45
TRACTIVE FORCE METHOD
Tractive Force Method
Scour and erosion process can be viewed in rational way by considering forces acting on particles lying on channel bottom or sides. The channel is eroded if resultant of forces tending to move particles is greater than resultant of forces resisting motion. This concept is referred as tractive force approach.
Tractive Force
The force exerted by flowing water on bottom and sides of channel is called tractive force. In uniform flow, this force is equal to component of weight acting in direction of flow and is given by:
τo = γ R So = γ y So
Where τo = Tractive force γ = Unit weight of water R = Hydraulic mean radius y = Depth of flow So = Bed slope of channel
Critical Tractive Force
The force at which channel material begins to move from stationery condition is called critical tractive force ( τc ).
46
Distribution of Tractive Force
Distribution of tractive force or shear stress over channel perimeter is not uniform. For trapezoidal channels, tractive force at channel bottom may be assumed equal to γ y So and at channel sides equal to 0.76 γ y So .
τs = 0.76 γ y So
Reduction Factor for Channel Sides
Reduction factor for critical tractive force on channel sides is:
К = √ 1- (Sin2 θ /Sin2 Φ)
Where К = Reduction factorθ = Slope of sidesΦ = Angle of repose
Effect of angle of repose should be considered only for coarse non cohesive materials and can be neglected for fine cohesive materials. Critical shear stress for cohesive and non cohesive materials is given in the figures. These values are for straight channels and should be reduced for sinuous channels as below:
Slightly sinuous channels = 10%Moderately sinuous channels = 25%Highly sinuous channels = 40%
47
Design Procedure
Procedure for design of channel by tractive force method is as follows:
• Permissible shear stress is found from the figure.
• Reduction factor for channel sides is determined.
• Unit tractive force on the side ( 0.76 γ y So ) is equated to permissible shear stress and depth of flow is determined.
• Bed width is determined from Manning equation.

6. MISCELLANEOUS CONSIDERATIONS
51
Miscellaneous Considerations
Miscellaneous consideration in design of irrigation channels are:
Alignment of Irrigation Channels
• Distributaries should be aligned along secondary ridges.
• Main and branch canals should be aligned along
main ridges.
• Irrigation channels should not cross drainage
system of area.
• Obstacles such as roads, towns, railway lines,
canals etc. should be avoided.
• Direct irrigation should not be done from main
and branch canals.
• Main canal should be split into branch canals
• Irrigation channels should be straight as far as
possible
• In case of curvature, suitable radius of curves
should be provided. Radius of curve depends on
discharge of canal but should be not less than 10
to 15 times bed width of canal.
MISCELLANEOUS CONSIDERATIONS
52
Longitudinal Slope
Longitudinal slope is fixed as per Lacey equation. If slope of canal is flatter than grade of land, falls are provided at suitable intervals and if slope of canal is steeper than grade of land the later is adopted.
Side Slope
Side slope of canal should be so selected that they remain stable under all operating conditions. Side slope ranges from vertical to 1:3 for lined canals to 1:1/2 to 1:3 for unlined canals, depending on site conditions.
Free Board
Free board is vertical distance between full supply level and top of canal banks. It depends on full supply depth and discharge of canal and generally ranges from 1 ft. to 4 ft. for small distributaries and main canals carrying 3000 cfs discharge. For canals carrying 10000 cfs or more discharge, it is 5.5 ft. Following equation provides estimate for free board.
F = √ C y
Where F = Free board in ft.
y = Design depth in ft.
C = Coefficient which varies from 1.5 ft. for
20 cfs to 2.5 for 3000 cfs or more.
53
Drainage behind Lining
In case of hydrostatic pressure behind lining, drainage of soil behind lining should be provided. Drainage may consists of filter blanket or transverse and longitudinal drains under the lining.
Super Elevation
Bed of canal is elevated on outer side as compared with inner side on curves to overcome effects of curvature, which is called super elevation. The effect of curvature is negligible if ratio of radius of curvature to distance to center of canal is greater than 3 times bed width of canal. Super elevation can be calculated from the following equation.
h = V2 b / g R
Where h = Super elevation
V = Average sub critical velocity
b = Width of canal
R = Distance from center of curve to center line of canal
Berm Width
Berm is distance between edge of canal section and inner toe of canal bank. Berm width is usually kept between 2D to 4D, where D is full supply depth.
