Case Study on Canal & Pipeline System in Irrigation Project

The project is a minor irrigation project situated on chandi river project in godawari basin, in Tq Nandgaon Kh district Amravati Its distribution system consists of open canals of trapezoidal profile irrigation water transmit via main and branch canal to the distributor by gravity from reservoirs We have designed pipeline system minor at RD 1208 M of main canal. The averaged estimated conveyance efficiency in the irrigation network is considered around 50% due to seepage, leakage, and evaporation They have been used extensively since the 1950’s most buried-pipe distribution systems for surface irrigation operate with a maximum pipe pressure which does not exceed 5 m and is frequently less than 3 m of hydraulic head. Most low-pressure pipe systems have been constructed from non-reinforced concrete pipe, but HDPE pipe materials are now increasingly being used. It was justified that the pipeline systems is easier to automate than an open channel. Also, it was indicated that pipeline systems offer greater seepage control, ease of water diversion, and reduced maintenance. A low-pressure pipeline system is efficient in water delivery and requires less energy head compared with an open channel system.
