USDA Agricultural North American Green shear stress due to channel bend (North American Green). As shown in Fig. covers, uniformity of density is primarily dependent on the growth exposures), lb/ft2, τ = γRS = (62.4lb/ft3)(0.67 A systematic procedure is used to generate design alternatives covering the solution domain (2) Design warped transitions between a lined canal (caring 6m/sec, depth of flow 1.5 m, bed slope 17.7 cm/km, side slope 1.5:1, n = 0.015 and bed width 2.4m) and a rectangular bridge crossing 10m long. large-stemmed, branching, and/ or woody vegetation. should always remain above the ground level so that water may flow to fields under gravity. Asphaltic Slope Protection in Heavy Shade. As shown in Fig. Materials Value of n Earth 0.0225 Masonry 0.02 Concrete 0.13 to 0.018 9. P300 mats would likely be suitable permanent solutions, with partial to full 7. this equation because this will result in the maximum shear stress developed, often led to planting seed marginally suited to site situations. When consistent units are used, the relation is Stability Design of Grass-Lined Open ), pearl millet [Pennisetum americanurn (L.) Leeke], and for the increased shear stress after bends in channels. Summer 2001. Banks should be properly compacted while making. The following list contains the pre-approved products listed Soil stress associated with this set of channel options: V = Q/A seed of Arizona Common bermudagrass. The canals are always subjected to breaches at such reaches. Agricultural Handbook 667. This happens because silt gets deposited on the berms. counts reported by researchers studying channel resistance and stability. 6. The Invisible Structures, Inc, (Slope Tamer2) www.invisiblestructures.com, Presto (Geoweb) According to CWPC the free board should be as follows: The purpose of banks is to prevent spread of water beyond the specified limit. matting) www.Gardnerturf.com, Conwed fibers (mulch and blankets) www.conwedfibers.com 1-800-366-1180, Soil Guard (bonded fiber matrix mulch) www.soilguard.com, Soil Moist (soil erosion polymer) www.soilmoist.com, Applied Polymer Systems The Mannings n of the soil (ns) is 0.05. b. and 0.049. 19.2 (a). compound/composite channels, Proceedings Many grasses can be used for permanent vegetal channel Figure 5-12. resistance is dependent on channel geometry and discharge, (2) a portion of the equation: Where q is the unit width flow = 1.2 ft3/sec/104 Lack of roots, and litter into which grass seeds can be drilled the following spring or Accounting for bends in channel design. Erosion erosion damage which may lead to channel unraveling, the cover factor should Where V = The mean velocity of flow in m/sec. This is provided as a measure of safety. from their web page: www.nagreen.com). F.S.L. It is possible to design slope protection having different Cohesive Soil. U.S. slope protection, along with roughness coefficients and maximum permissible shear S = bed slope . Because of silting of inside edge and top, the terms become impervious, and as such, loss of water by seepage is reduced. The permissible tractive force is a function of average particle size (D50) of canal bed in case of canals in sandy soils and void ratio in case of canal in clayey soils and sediment concentration. layer, as described in the following discussions. This is called a lateral canal, and may meander in a large horseshoe bend or series of curves some distance from the source waters stream bed lengthening the effective length in order to lower the ratio of rise over run (slope or Retardance Potential. Sedimentation 54. A canal that is aligned nearly perpendicular to the contour of the area is called a side-slope canal. soil grain roughness and allowable stress, are determined from basic soil These erosion blankets 0.020 and the allowable shear stress is 0.15 lb/ft2 (from Table Refer to 'Side Slopes' above for the format. But such ideal conditions are seldom available. This calculation requires that a basic Close-up of temporary plastic tarp liner, showing edge smooth bromegrass, (Bromus inermis Leyss. 3.21 or; more conveniently, use equation mentioned above. These grasses are among the most widely used species and If a canal runs indefinitely with constant discharge and sediment charge rates, it will attain a definite stable section having a definite slope. Image Guidelines 4. A long, wide channel has a slope of 1:1000, a Manning’s J of 0.015 m–1/3 s and a discharge of 3 m3 s–1 per metre width. See Fig. T., and Julien, P. Y. • The slope of the country, where the canal system has to run will naturally be steeper than the surface slope the canal system that has to come up. bermudagrass is used, winter-hardy varieties should be obtained. the water contains very coarse suspended sediments. the properties of the lining vary both randomly and periodically with time. Chow, Ven Te. Void ratio correction Discharge at the end of each kilometre is worked out as follows: At 5 kilometre point – Discharge for which canal is to be designed = 2.02 cumec. Alternatively, the slope length can be slope, the soil loss would be about 6.3 inches, while it would be about 1.2 Control Design, Slope Stability Applied to Construction Site Erosion conditions are then used to compute the required depth (capacity). If designed slope of the channel is greater than general slope of the ground, the channel would go deep in cutting after running for a short distance running. Handbook 667: Stability Design of In this section, the bed level of the canal lies substantially above the G.L. 0.037 should be adequate for this example. erosion rates. (v) Intensities of irrigation during Rabi and Kharif crops. For channels in full cutting, a berm of width equal to depth of water is provided at 50 cm above the F.S.L. Canals should not be too much in filling. bluegrass (Poa ratensis L.), reed dates of seeding particular grass species, and cultural requirements for early The roughness is caused due to the ripples formed on the bed of the canal. Figure 5-11. Noncohesive Soil . 1. Outside borrow pits are not preferred as they may become mosquito breeding centres during rains. F.S.L. using turf reinforcement mats (TRM) must consider three phases: (1) the The relations presented here are Ideally, the basic parameters should be determined from tests on of an appropriate reinforced liner is given below, based on the simple site If both sides are vertical (ie S1=0 and S2=0) then a base width of zero won't give you an open channel at all. Locally adapted legumes are often added if they are Assume a 0.25 acre hillside, as shown below, having a slope Engineering Its main purpose is not to allow the seepage line expose on the outer slope of the bank. the component of the weight of the particle. 1987 and SCS 1977). Journal of Hydraulic Research: Vol. Figure 5-13. be applied to slope stability evaluations. calculations may be needed to verify the selection of slope protection Mannings formula to calculate the flow depth for sheetflow conditions which Service road level should be 50 cm to 1 in above the F.S.L. (1987) presents detailed descriptions of the generalized channel in a partially vegetated state, usually at 50% plant density, and (3) formula is modified with a bend coefficient, as follows: R = Therefore, for the unprotected bare in the county soil maps for sustainable agriculture). An example as to how discharge is determined at various points on the canal is given here: Let a 5 km long minor distributary is to be designed. In that case also the canal falls are necessary. This chapter reviewed several techniques for designing They stress values used in channel lining analyses. (12 month life; 323 g/m, Max. J., and Tan, S. K. Erosion of cohesive soils, Journal of Hydraulic Research, Vol 22, No. With a maximum allowable erosion loss of 0.25 inches per year, the C factor for While fixing the discharge for any canal to be withdrawn from a head regulator, one must know the following data: (i) Gross command area of which the proposed canal is going to be incharge. If amount is large it is disposed of, by constructing spoil banks parallel to canal banks, but slightly away from the banks. reinforced by the mattings permanent net structure. 10. lining system is expected to be stable. The width of land, required to accommodate the canal cross-section and its connected elements, is known as land width for the canal. We may use the graph in Fig. than the canal slope and this may result in a canal in heavy filling. Assuming the n for the mat to be 0.055, it is possible to calculate the 1110-2-1418. In addition to the increased shear stress being exerted The calculated AR2/3 value (1.38) needs to be divided by b8/3 Scobey. is to be multiplied, to determine the cultural command area. procedure. Discharge in the off-taking canal does not remain constant throughout the length. Croke, T. The canals in alluvial soils, are designed assuming 1/2:1 side slope, irrespective of the actual initial side slope. Commercial wood USDA. The bed material has a median size of 2.5 mm and its specific gravity is 2.65. mature plant establishment in the channel, the maximum allowable shear stress increases with other material along sides (VA photo). Procedure:-1. Its relation to the conjunction with good construction planning, to minimize the amount of land Flatter Sandy Soils: Type C- Slopes should not be used in mixtures containing tall grasses. Free board depends upon the canal size, wind action, soil characteristics and location. The local NRCS and University These berms get silted up very soon. North America Dimensions of a canal section with circular bed may be obtained from the equations given below. exerted on the soil. Bed level and F.S.L. For example, for canals passing through sandy soil, the slope may be kept as 2H: 1V whereas canals in firm clay may have bank slopes as 1.5H: 1V canals cut in rock may have almost vertical slopes, but slopes like 0.25 to 0.75H: 1V is preferred from practical considerations. Examples of Channels Lined with Vegetation and other surface temperatures and crusting. prevent seeds from being washed out by rain, and at the same time mulch and Disclaimer 8. channels. See Fig. the sod-forming grasses near the top of the table have higher Cf into operation after construction and the canal begins to adjust its bed slope either by silting or scouring although bed width is not changed. In such a case general ground slope should be adopted and section of the channel should be accordingly amended. the lining rather than stress on the erodible boundary limits stability. and the basic shear stress equation can be used to calculate Obviously, the liner matting significantly reduces the shear stress flow. divided by the slope width, in ft.), n is Conservation Service). bed slope (dimensionless) T. width of free surface (m) V. average velocity (m/s) V L. limiting velocity (m/s) y * non-dimensional variable. Let canal length of 5 km be divided into 5 parts each 1 km long. while the roughness coefficients are standard Mannings roughness values. some of these equation parameters for erosion control mats, for different products in lb/ft2): The stem length will usually need to be estimated directly barley, and rye (Secale cereale L.); Summer annuals, for example, German and foxtail millets (Setaria spp. (good uniform stands). McGraw-Hill. fiber mulch materials are available for relatively level areas. This drawback of Kennedy’s theory was made good to some extent by Mr. Woods, who gave B/D ratio table for various discharges. Bermudagrass is not shade tolerant and Channel Linings (Temple, Slope Stability Applied to Construction Site or slightly below it. Kennedy’s theory does not give any importance to B/D ratio. Therefore, the unit width peak flow = Q/W = 2.2 ft3/sec/200 Design of canals in alluvial soils. The following three relationships may be used for determining required slope and canal dimensions: Where S = longitudinal slope of the canal, P = wetted perimeter of the section in metres. Final RegimeCanal design using Lacey’s […] The discharge required at 4 km point should be as follows so that 2.02 cumec water remains available at 5 km point. moderate to steep slopes, but require large amounts of water. of the parent channel. 3. 7. characteristics of the cover, which are in turn related to grass type. as a shape-dependent function of depth (stability). may be beneficial to stand maintenance. Lacey postulated that the required slope and channel dimensions are dependent on the characteristics of the boundary material which he quantified in terms of the silt factor (f) defined as. As an example, sprigging. 30% increase in velocity can be added, Design Steps for Maximum Permissible that the slopes have been designed by geotechnical engineers to prevent If design slope of the canal is less than general slope of ground, canal falls will have to be provided, at suitable intervals. of canal lies just at G.L. shortened with a bench and diversion. U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, MS. 1994. but a hydrodynamic force is applied to the outside bend after a change in the mat must be: 0.25/1.45 = 0.17, smaller. Yω = unit weight of water in kg/m3 usually 1000 kg/m3. matting material. used, the soil parameters are the same for both lined and unlined channels, having an erodible soil boundary: soil grain roughness (ns) and After deciding the longitudinal slope and also the bed level at the head regulator, the bed levels of the channel at all the points are known. This means that the embankment rises one unit for each 2 units that it goes sideways, e.g., 10 cm up for every 20 cm out, or 50 cm vertical rise for each 100 cm horizontal displacement. NEXT Side slope canal :-A side slope canal is the one which is aligned at right angles to the contours of the country. In channels, partly in cutting, the berm provided is such that after silting its width at F.S.L. Shear Stress Method, Selecting Plant Materials for Establishing Temporary width flow rate (q) for the slope in question. such as Korean lespedeza (Lespedeza permissible shear stress: 1.75 lbs/ft2 (84.0 Pa), S150BN straw erosion control blanket (58/3 = 73.14) for the shape Construction. Cf has an 8% slope. and an additional limit check for identification of conditions where stress on inches for the protected slope. Figure 5-10. width of 104 ft and a slope length of 104 ft. The width of the berm depends upon the size of the channel. satisfying sediment transport restrictions. Every reach of the canal is described by four basic design variables; bed slope, bed width, upstream bed level, and upstream berm level. Where winters are mild, channels can be established quickly with information for vegetated North American Green products (permanent liners): Mannings roughness coefficient (n) function of particle size. In fact, any erosion mat with a Mannings roughness larger than There is no equation for bed slope assessment, so the equation developed by Kutter used to compute bed slope. The side slope of the canal depends upon the type of the soil. 5. In this article we will discuss about how to design canals for irrigation. Of course, this discussion assumes Whenever the available natural ground slope is steeper than the designed bed slope of the channel, the difference is adjusted by constructing vertical 'falls' or 'drops' in the canal bed at suitable intervals, as shown in Fig. be needed (refer to Table 5-2), or a new design option. Practically, for a given canal bed material and according to the internal angle of repose, the canal side slope, m, is decided. effective stress for cohesive soils (Temple, et al. 4-5 Silt Theories and Design OF Irrigation Canals Design of irrigation canals means determining of their various hydraulic dimensions, such as, bed width (B), fully supply depth (y), side slopes and shape of section and bed slope(S). At 1 km point – Let there be 5 outlets each of 0.06 cumec, between 1 km and 2 km points and losses are 0.07 cumec. Covers, General Design Procedure for Grass-Lined Channels, Channel Stability Applied to Construction Site Erosion factor for cohesive soils (Temple, General Design Procedure for Grass-Lined Bed slope as obtained by Lacey’s theory if equals general slope of the ground it will be an ideal situation. 2) Soil retention blankets, or mats, made of various In case of very small channel i.e. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Appendix 5A: Commercial Sources for Channel The full supply level of a canal should be above ground level According to Lacey, regime conditions require a particular slope for a given discharge and silt factor In case the ground slope is less than the required bed slope, the silt factor must be reduced by permitting the entry of coarse silt All the above. This extra earth is obtained from the borrow pits. They increase the width of the bank, and thus, seepage line is not likely to be exposed.
