Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Tutorial III and IV


Last date of Submission: 2080/10/27

Chapter 3
1. What are the different type of canals?
2. How irrigation canals are classified? Explain in details.
3. Describe briefly the various consideration made in the alignment of an irrigation canal.
4. Explain with sketches the component of canal irrigation system.
5. How the canal is aligned in irrigation system?
6. Define balancing depth with sketch.
7. An irrigation channel has a bottom width 20m and side slopes of 1.5H: 1V in cutting and 2H: 1V in
filling. The width of the crest of bank is 3m and its height above the ground level is 4.5m. Compute the
balancing depth.
8. The following data refer to an irrigation canal.
Bed width = 1.0m side slopes = 2:1 (in filling & 1:1 (in cutting)
Top width of embankment on either side of canal = 3m
Full supply depth = 5m; Free board = 1m
Determine the balancing depth. Draw a neat x-section of the canal illustrating the various dimensions and
level it.
9. Draw the typical cross sections of canal in (i) Filling (ii) Cutting (iii) partial cutting & filling.

Chapter 4

1. An irrigation channel with protected sides is carrying a discharge of 2.7cumec. The channel is constructed
in course alluvium gravel of size 42mm and laid at a slope of 1 in 110. What is the minimum width to be
provided? Compare critical shear using Shields equation & Mittal & Swamee’s equation.
2. A wide irrigation channel is laid at a slope of 1 in 4000. The size of the sand is 3.0mm. Water flows at a
depth of 0.8m. Find whether the bed is moving or stationary. If the size of the sand is increased to 7mm,
and the slope to 1in 1000 what will happen to the bed
3. An irrigation channel is to be constructed in course alluvium gravel with 5mm particle size. The channel
has to carry 2.9cumec of discharge and the longitudinal slope is 0.01. The banks of the channel will be
protected by grass against scouring. Find the minimum width of the channel.
4. Water flows at a depth of 0.7m in a wide stream having a bed slope of 1 in 2500. The diameter of the
sand bed is 1.0mm. Determine whether the soil grains are stationary or moving. Also comment whether
the stream bed is scouring or non-scouring.
5. An irrigation channel is to be constructed in course alluvium gravel with 4cm size. The channel has to
carry 5 cumecs of discharge & the longitudinal slope is 0.04. The banks of the channel will be protected
against scouring. Find the minimum width of the channel.
6. An irrigation channel is to be designed for the following data. Q= 35cumec, S= 1 in 1400, d = 35mm, φ=
370.
The side slopes of the trapezoidal channel are unprotected.
7. A canal is to be designed to carry a discharge of 60cumecs. The bed slope is kept 1 in 1200. The soil is
course alluvium having a grain size of 5cm. Assuming the canal is trapezoidal & to be unlined with
unprotected banks. Determine a suitable section for the canal. Assume φ = 370
8. An irrigation canal carries a discharge of 40m3/sec and is laid on a slope of 1 in 2500. If CVR = 1.2 and
n = 0.025, design the channel. (Ans y= 2.6m, b= 11.34m )
9. Following dimensions were obtained while designing a trapezoidal canal.
Bed width = 21m, depth = 1.5m, Bed slope = 2.25 in 1000, Manning’s n= 0.022, Find whether the chosen
canal section is satisfactory.
10. The slope of a channel in alluvium is 1/4000, Lacey’s silt factor is 0.9 and side slopes are 0.5:1 (H : V).
Find the channel section and maximum discharge which can be allowed to flow in it.
