Design of irrigation Head Works for small
Catchments-A.J.P. Ponrajah - Department of
Irrigation

Data
Results from operation study and flood study,

Sill of the Sluice = 94.5 ft (MSL)

(Level above the 2.5ft from bottom of the tank)

Minimum Operating Level = 97 ft (MSL)(1 foot above the
top of the opening of the sluice)

Full Supply Level (FSL) = 101 ft (MSL)

Normally Rip-Rap is
not use for village
tanks.
Why we use it?
SIDE SLOPES FOR COMPACTION BY MACHINERY & EQUIPMENTS
Homogeneous material (semi- impervious sc type soil) for
embankment height up to 20
Su Sd
2 2
Homogeneous material (semi- impervious sc type soil) for
embankment height over 20 up to 30 2.5 2
To ensure the slopes need to analyze it for slope
stability.
