CANAL IRRIGATION SYSTEM

The entire water conveyance system of canal


irrigation is divided into following 3 parts:

1. Primary Distribution System (Main & Branch Canals),

2. Secondary Distribution System (Major & Minor


Distributory),

3. Tertiary Distribution System (Water-courses & Field


Channels).

• This integral management system for CERTAIN IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS:


conveying & distributing Irrigation water
from the Source (River/Reservoir) to the
• Based upon the alignment of canals,
agricultural fields is also known as WARA-
they are classified as following:
BANDI System.

1. Watershed/Ridge Canals,
• The Primary & Secondary distribution
system are fully managed & controlled 2. Contour Canals,
by State Irrigation Department, 3. Side-Slope Canals.
whereas, the Tertiary distribution system
is operated by farmers, themselves.

CROSS DRAINAGE WORKS

Types Of Cross Drainage Works:


Introduction: • Depending upon the relative bed levels,
maximum water levels and relative discharges of
canals and drainages the cross drainage works
• These structural elements are required for may be of following types,
conveying the canals across natural drainage
without interrupting the continuous canal • Type1: Irrigation Canal passes over the
supplies. Drainage,

• Type2: Drainage passes over the Irrigation


canal,
• These are costly structures and therefore a
canal should be made to reach watershed or • Type3: Drainage and Canal intersection at the
ridge line as shortly as possible. same level.

A. LEVEL CROSSINGS

The level crossing consists of following components:


B. INLET & OUTLET
1. Crest Wall: It is provided across the drainage just at the upstream
side of the crossing point. The top level of the crest wall is kept at
the full supply level of the canal.

2. Drainage Regulator: It is provided across the drainage just at


downstream side of the crossing point. The regulator consists of
adjustable shutters at different tiers.

3. Canal Regulator: It is provided across the canal just at


downstream side of the crossing point. The regulator consists of
adjustable shutters at different tiers.
