Rationale
This subject provides necessary knowledge about design of gravity dams, earthen dams, energy
dissipaters, canal h This subject is also useful with respect to facts,
concepts, principles and procedures related to canal design, canal lining, cross drainage works and
water logging. Further students will be able to plan and execute the construction of these
structures.

Objectives

To understand different types of dams and its suitability to a particular region.


To study design consideration of earthen dams
To study various types of Spillways
To understand the importance of silt theories for design of irrigation channels
