    This document provides an overview of the CE408 Irrigation Engineering course. The course objectives are to enable students to learn irrigation engineering and design open channels. Irrigation is defined as the artificial application of water to land according to crop requirements. Irrigation has advantages like increased food production but also disadvantages such as groundwater pollution, salinity, and damp climate issues. The main types of irrigation are surface irrigation and subsurface irrigation. Surface irrigation includes flow irrigation methods like perennial and flood irrigation, as well as lift irrigation. Subsurface irrigation includes natural subsurface irrigation using seepage as well as artificial subsurface irrigation using drip irrigation.

    CE408 IRRIGATION ENGINEERING

    TOPICS: IRRIGATION ENGINEERING


    WEEK: 1
    LECTURE: 1
    LEVEL: 8 T H SEMESTER
    PREREQUISITES: NONE
     
    COURSE TEACHER: ENGR. KHURAM SALEEM ( khurram
    .civil@suit.edu.pk)
    ACCESS AT: portal.suit.edu.pk
    Civil Engineering Department, SUIT Peshawar
    KHURAM SALEEM 1
    Course Objectives:
    1. To enable students to learn irrigation engineering
     
    2. To learn to design open channels and calculate water required.

    KHURAM SALEEM 2
    Background
    Plant require water and air for its survival
    Water is given to plants naturally by rain fall and floods
    Natural irrigation is very unreliable:
    heavy floods water scarcity

    so the science of storing water during floods and using it prudently during
    normal days to grow food and generate electricity is called irrigation

    KHURAM SALEEM 3
    Definition
    The science of artificial application of water to the land in accordance with the
    ‘crop requirements’ throughout the ‘crop period’ for full fledged nourishment of
    crops.

    KHURAM SALEEM 4
    Water course through fields

    KHURAM SALEEM 5
    Advantages
    1. increase in food production
    2. no mixed cropping
    3. general prosperity
    4. hydropower generation
    5. domestic water supply
    6. communication
    7. afforestation

    KHURAM SALEEM 6
    Mixed cropping, hydropwer, domestic
    water supply to nearby city, canal roads

    KHURAM SALEEM 7
    Disadvantages
    1. Ground water pollution (nitrates)
    2. Salinity
    3. Damp climate (malaria, dengue etc.)
    4. expensive

    KHURAM SALEEM 8
    Water logging and salinity

    Types of Irrigation
    IRRIGATION

    SURFACE IRRIGATION SUB SURFACE IRRIGATION

    FLOW IRRIGATION LIFT IRRIGATION NATURAL SUBSURFACE IRRIGATION


    ARTIFICIAL SUBSURFACE IRRIGATION
    PERENNIAL IRRIGATION FLOOD IRRIGATION

    DIRECT IRRIGATION STORAGE IRRIGATION

    KHURAM SALEEM 10
    Types of irrigation

    (A) SURFACE IRRIGATION

    (B) SUBSURFACE IRRIGATION

    KHURAM SALEEM 11
    Surface irrigation 2 types:
    (i) Flow irrigation (Gravity irrigation)

    (ii) Lift irrigation

    KHURAM SALEEM 12
    Flow irrigation 2 types
    1. Perennial Irrigation
    It is round the clock irrigation or almost round the year. In it
    constant and continuous water supply is assured to crops.
    2. Flood Irrigation
    It is heavy and nonstop irrigation done in the form of a flood but
    for a very short interval of time. The point to be noted is that it is unguaranteed.
    Besides, it can sustain only minor crops like fodder, pea, some vegetables etc.

    KHURAM SALEEM 13
    Perennial Irrigation 2 types
    a) Direct irrigation
    When water is used directly by diverting the river flow by barrage or simple
    weir.

    b) Storage irrigation
    When water is first stored and then used for irrigation.

    KHURAM SALEEM 14
    Sub surface irrigation 2 types
    (i) Natural subsurface irrigation
    The underground irrigation
    done by seepage from reservoirs and unlined canals.

    (ii) Artificial subsurface irrigation


    Drip irrigation
