DEFINITION
An artificial channel filled with water
and designed for navigation ,or
irrigation land , etc.
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.
TYPES OF CANAL
BASED ON USE
There are two types of canals
Aqueduct: water supply canals that are used
for the conveyance and delivery of portable
for human consumption ,municipal
uses ,and agriculture irrigation
Water ways :navigable transportation
canals used for carrying ships and boats
shipping goods and conveying people .
TYPES OF CANALS
BASED ON DISCHARGES
MAIN CANAL
BRANCH CANAL
MAJOR DISTRIBUTORY CANAL
MINOR DISTRIBUTORY CANAL
WATER COURSE OR FIELD CHANNEL
MAIN CANALS
Main canal takes of directly from the
upstream side of weir head works or
dam.
MAIN CANAL
BRANCH CANAL
All off takes from main canal with head
discharge of 14-15 cumecs and termed
as branch canals.
1. Lined canals
2. Unlined canals
SHAPES OF CANAL
1. CIRCULAR SHAPE
2. TRIANGULAR SHAPE
3. TRAPEZOIDAL SHAPE
4. PARABOLIC SHAPE
5. RECTANGULAR SHAPE
LINED CANAL
A lined canals is provided with a lining of
impervious materials on its bed and banks to
prevent the seepage of water
TYPES OF CANAL LINING
1. Concrete lining
2. Short crete lining
3. Brick or burnt clay tile lining
4. Boulder lining
Unlined canal
An unlined canal is the one which as it bed and
banks made of natural soil through which it is
constructed and not provided with a lining of
impervious material .
Disadvantages of unlined canal
water velocities higher than 0.7m/sec or
not tolerable because of erosion. The low
operating velocities requires large cross-
section area.
High seepage and conveyance water
losses result in water logging of adjacent
land.
Danger of canal bank breakage caused by
overturning ,erosion and animal
burrowing.
