This book is an outcome of a large experience of many engineerson various different site conditions. Many actual cases have beensited. It deals with all the practical aspects of an economicsection for various discharges, topographic and soilconditions.
The canal design involves deep knowledge of followingdisciplines.
Hydraulic of flow, Mechanics of bed erosion and sedimenttransport, Geotechnical engineering: Soil and Rock mechanics,stability of inner and outer slopes, including that of foundation,Mechanics of ground water flow, seepage and drainagecharacteristics of soil and ground, Tunnelling, StructuralEngineering and construction techniques There are followingParameters of a Channel Designi. Discharge, Q
ii.Rugosity coefficient, N
iii.Longitudinal slope, S
iv. Side slope Z (horizontal: 1 vertical)
v. Bed width, B
vi. Depth, D or b/d ratio, X and
vii. Velocity, V
Lastly this volume is very friendly to field engineers and helpsto avoid mistakes. It is written in such a way that the fieldengineers can use the relevant part directly. The book is also veryuseful to engineering students to enable them to clearly understandthe hydraulics and economics of canal sections, and project works.It incorporates the work of many researchers / scholars on thesubject. It also highlights future studies required.ISBN - 9789380235639
