    Irrigation canals can be classified in several ways: 1. By function as productive canals (that yield revenue), protective canals (for relief in famine areas), or power and navigation canals. 2. By alignment as ridge canals, contour canals, or side slope canals depending on how they are constructed across land. 3. By command area, which is the gross area that can be irrigated by a canal, as well as the cultivable command area which excludes areas that cannot be irrigated like ponds, villages, and forests.
