Estimate Seepage Losses in Irrigation Canal System

Kavita A. Koradiya, Dr. R. B. Khasiya

Abstract :

The conveyance efficiency in irrigation projects is poor due to seepage, percolation, cracking, and damaging of the earth channel. Seepage loss in irrigation water conveyance system is very significant, as it forms the ma – jor portion of the water loss in the irrigation system. One of the main problem that meet the Ministry if Irrigation and Water Resources is that about 80% from its total length passing through silt clay soil. The quantity of seepage to surrounding area varies from section to other. The seepage losses affect the water surface profiles, slops, discharge, and water level. . Various methods are used to estimate the canal seepage rate. The main objective of this research are evaluating seepage losses at different critical sections and compå between different empirical, analytical and field measure result.
