    1. The Twante Canal project aims to improve the 34km canal connecting the Ayeyarwady Delta and Yangon River in Myanmar, which has experienced problems like erosion, flooding, and saltwater intrusion. 2. The project has two phases - channel training and flood embankments in Phase 1, and multi-purpose barrages in Phase 2. Phase 1 is estimated to cost $69.2 million and provide benefits like improved navigation, prevented land loss, and reduced flooding. 3. Phase 2 will involve barrages that secure navigation, mitigate floods, and provide fresh water for urban development, with Alternative 1 providing more benefits but also higher costs and impacts than Alternative 2.

    1 Project Background

    Twante Canal is an artificial waterway connecting Ayeyarwady Delta and Yangon River in
    Myanmar with the length of 34 km.
    Since the completion in 1883 by England, it has been heavily used for inland navigation
    between Ayeyarwady Delta and Yangon City.
    3
    2 Problems & Needs (Morphological Change)

    Khanaungto Creek (old canal) from 3.5 mile to 0 mile was overworked and repaired for the
    smooth inland navigation in 1908
    New shortcut channel from 0 mile to 3.5 mile constructed by the British Government in
    1917, but it caused critical hydraulic instability.
    4
    2 Problems & Needs (Bed & Bank Erosion)

    3.5 mile

    0 mile

    High-speed current due to tidal effect (vmax ≈ 3.5 m/s during ebb tide)
    Serious bed and bank erosion at the junctions
    Damage of bank protection and land loss for residential area and farmland
    Threatening the safe ship navigation due to large-scaled eddy generation
    5
    2 Problems & Needs (Flood Vulnerability)

    The Ayeyarwady delta is characterized by low land and flat terrain by formation of swampy
    lands.
    Flood risks in Khanaungto, Dala & Twante Townships
    Flood inundation in low lying area during the spring tide
    Increase of flood damage potential with new urban development according to Strategic
    Urban Development Plan of the Greater Yangon
    6
    2 Problems & Needs (Saltwater Intrusion)

    Limited arable areas due to saltwater intrusion and soil salinity


    Requiring freshwater with urban development in Khanaungto, Dala & Twante Townships

    1 Project Outline

    Project Objective: to provide sustainable and systematic measures


    for the Twante Canal improvement
    Project Scope: Twante Canal between Toe & Yangon Rivers (L=34km)
    Project Components
    Phase 1: Channel Training & Flood Embankment
    Phase 2: Multi-purpose Barrages

    9
    2 Project Scope (Phase 1 : Channel Training & Flood Embankment)

    Channel Training: to reduce the flow velocity at the tidal flow and to stabilize the flow field
    along Twante Canal
    Flood Embankment: to secure the design flood level during the largest spring tide
    10
    2 Project Scope (Phase 2 : Multi-purpose Barrages)

    Multi-purpose Barrages: to secure constant safe ship navigation, mitigate the flood risk during
    the largest spring tide, and provide abundant fresh water from the upper Ayeyarwady
    11
    2 Project Scope (Phase 2 : Multi-purpose Barrages)
    Comparison between Alternative 1 & 2
    Division Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Remark
    Cost Extreme Moderate
    Barrage (Toe) Toe River (L=510m) Twante Canal (L=260m)
    Barrage (Yangon) Power plant (high cost) Movable weir
    Benefits Extreme Moderate
    Water supply ++ +
    Electric power + -
    Social & Env. Impacts Moderate Expectable
    Submerged area + -
    Ayeyarwady flood + -

    ※ ++ (extreme), + (moderate), - (none)


    Key Factors of Barrage Design: location, scale, type, components, etc.
    • Depend on water supply extent & power generating capacity
    Further study parameters on technical feasibility, economic efficiency, social &
    environmental impacts, financial burden, and etc. with fresh water demand for new town
    development plan
