A canal fall is an irrigation structure constructed across a canal to lower down its Water level and destroy the surplus energy liberated from the falling water which may othervise scour the bed and banks of the canal.
3/13/2014
The canal falls are required when the natural slope of the ground along the canal alignment is steeper than the bed slope of the canal. The canal bed slope may vary from 1 in 4000 for a discharge of about 1.5 cumecs to about 1 in 8000 for a discharge of 5000 cumecs. The average ground slope is about 1 in 200 to 1 in 50. The difference of the slopes is adjusted by providing vertical falls in the bed of the canal at suitable intervals.

As far as possible the canal should be kept in the balanced depth of cutting. If the fall is not provided, the canal would go in excessive filling, which is not desirable from the consideration of the economy of earthwork and the maintenance of the canal. For a canal irrigating the area directly, a fall may be provided at a location where the F.S.L. of the canal outstrips the ground level but before the bed of the can comes into filling.

The site for the fall in the case of distributaries from which direct irrigation done, is usually decided in such a way that the command is not sacrificed the process of lowering of the water level. After the fall, the F.S.L. of the canal may be below the ground level for to kilometer. The location of a fall may also be decided from the consideration of the possibility, of combining it with a cross regulator or a road bridge to effect economy and to have better regulation.

A relative economy of providing a large number of small falls or small number of large falls should also be worked out. The provision of small number of big falls results in unbalanced earthwork, but there is always some saving in the cost of the fall structure. Sometimes it may be necessary to provide fewer falls of large drops to enable hydropower generation at these falls.

The various types of falls are : 1. Ogee fall 2. Rapid fall 3. Stepped fall 4. Notch fall 5. Vertical drop fall 6. Glacis fall
