    The document discusses the design of irrigation canal systems. It begins by defining a canal as an artificial waterway used to transport boats or ships inland or convey water for irrigation. It then discusses the purpose of irrigation as applying water artificially to land for agricultural production. The rest of the document discusses the classification of canals based on size and capacity, the history of canals, and how canals are classified based on their nature, financial output, function, and alignment.

    WHAT IS CANAL?
     An artificial waterway constructed to allow the passage of boats or
    ships inland or to convey water for irrigation.

     Generally it is in trapezoidal shape.


    WHAT IS IRRIGATION?
     Irrigation is the artificial application of water to land for the
    purpose of agricultural production.

     It is the engineering of controlling and harnessing the various


    natural sources of water, by constructing dams and reservoirs,
    canals and headwork, and finally distributing the water to the
    agricultural fields.
    CANAL IRRIGATION
     An artificial water course or extensively modified natural channel
    used for inland water transport and/or the control and diversion of
    water for drainage or irrigation
     An artificial channel filled with water and designed for navigation,
    or irrigating land, etc.

    History
     The earliest canals were built by Middle Eastern civilizations primarily to
    provide water for drinking and for irrigating crops.
     The Nahrwan Canal, 185 miles (300 kilometers) long, was built around 2400
    B.C. between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers (in present-day Iraq).
     Egypt's ancient pharaohs linked the Mediterranean and Red Seas with a
    canal that the Romans later restored and used for shipping.
    Classification of canals
    (based on sizes and capacities)
     Main canal
     Branch canal
     Major distributary canal
     Minor distributary canal
     Water course
    Main Canal
     Takes its supplies directly from the river through the head regulator and acts
    as a feeder canal supplying water to branch canals and major distributaries.
    Usually direct irrigation is not carried out from the main canal.
    Branch Canal
     Take their supplies from the main canal. Branch canals generally carry a
    discharge higher than 5m³/s and act as feeder canals for major and minor
    distributaries. Large branches are rarely used for direct irrigation. However,
    outlets are provided on smaller branches for direct irrigation.
    Major Distributary Canal
     It carries .25 to 5m³/s of discharge. These distributaries take their supplies
    generally from the branch canal and sometimes from the main canal. The
    distributaries feed either watercourses through outlets or minor distributaries.

    Minor Distributary Canal


     Are small canals which carry a discharge less than .25m³/s and feed the water
    courses for irrigation. They generally take their supplies from major or branch
    canals and rarely from the main canals.
    Water course
     Is a small channel which take its supplies from an irrigation channel (generally
    distributaries) through an outlet and carries water to the various parts of the
    area to be irrigated through the outlet.
    CLASSIFICATION OF CANAL
    BASED ON:
     Nature of source of supply
     Financial output
     Function of canal
     Canal alignment
    NATURE OF SOURCE OF SUPPLY
     Permanent canal
    o Permanent canal is fed from permanent source of water.
    o Also called “Perennial Canal”.
    o Made of well graded channel with permanent structures

     Inundation canals:
    o Which gets its supplies only when the water level in the river rises
    during floods.
    o Also called Flood Canals
