CHAPTER ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Irrigation is essential to overcome water deficiencies and ensure stable
agricultural production throughout the year. It is vital in areas where the
amount and timing of rainfall are not adequate to meet the moisture
requirement crops. This is the fact why management of water resource
became very important. Through country has enough source of water for
irrigation and arable lands, only insignificant amount has been utilized.
Major cereal food production in the country is based on rain-fed agricultural
by small-holder farmer. This situation has exposed to rural population to
repeated cycle of famine as the result of annual crop failure due to drought.
To increase the role of irrigated agriculture in the country, the water sector
development program for the period from 2002-2016 gives irrigation a
prominent place by proposing about 274,000 hectares of lands to developed
in the 15-years period of under large, medium and small scale irrigation. One
of the projects in this program is Gelana irrigation project.
1.3 River
The available flow is the Gelana River which flow of Yirga Chefe (upper valley)
and enter a narrow gorge though which it descends down the stream edge of
the African Rift Valley. Finally, the River traverses through a seasonally

flooded zone known as the Bore swamp and eventually flow to Abaya Lake.
The annual flow in the Gelana River in the valley varies considerable with a
mean flow of 5.6 m3/s(180M m3) with dry season discharge reaching as low as
300 l/s.
1.4 Topography
The Gelana irrigation project is in the middle valley of Gelana River, with
elevation 1300m M.S.L. The proposed irrigation area covers about 11,834
hectares of which 0nly some 6200 hectares area will be irrigated. The balance
area is left out due to unstable soil, uneven topography and dense bush area
along Gelana and Jelo River. The slope analysis is important to classified the
capability of land, land use planning and conservation need. The result of
slope analysis in the major party of the project is a gentle slope.
1.7.1 General
Farming with traditional cultural practices forms the livelihood of the
community. Around the project area rain fed agriculture is the existing means
of survival for the farmers, which is supported by live stock production.

1.8 Geology
1.8.1 General
Generally the geological observation around Gelana irrigation project is
covered by volcanic rocks principally basalt dipping to wards east. The rock is
found highly weathered and distributed to a depth 5m in the center valley
and to greater depth on the right and left abutment. Afoul zone was identified
near main flow River.
1.8.2 Soil
The soil of the project area is the result of weathering and decomposition of
volcanic rocks particularly from the basalt. Soil has been recognized in the
vicinity of the project which is alluvial loam silt soil.
Generally the project area has good potential for agricultural have the
following physical.
Land form; The land form of Gelana Commanded undulating slope
5-8%
CHAPTER TWO
2.2.1 - Adequacy
It refers primarily to length of records, but scarcity of data collecting stations
is often a problem. If the sample is too small, the probabilities derived can
not be expected to be reliable. Generally a minimum of 30 years of data is
considered as essential. Smaller lengths of records are also used when it is
unavoidable. However, frequency analysis should not be adopted if the length
of records is less than 10 years. Therefore, 23-years record of mean rain fall
available for Gelana irrigation project that is enough to determine the
maximum flood.
2.2.2 - Continuity
The continuity of a record may be broken with missing data due to many
reasons such as damage or fault in recording gauges during a period.
Fortunately the given 23-year rain fall record of Gelana irrigation project was
not found with missing data.

1. Rational Method
The rational formula is found to be suitable for peak flow prediction in small
catchments up to 50km^2 in area. It finds considerable application in urban
drainage designs and in designs of small Culverts and Bridges. The basic
equation of rational method is given by
Qp=1/360*A*C*I
Where Qp is peak discharge (m3/s)
C -runoff coefficient
Itc, I-The mean intensity of precipitation (mm/Hr) for a duration
equal to tc .
P- Precipitation
A- Drainage area in hectare (ha)
The use of this method to compute Qp requires parameters; Tc, (Itc, p) and
Limitation:
a. Calculation of weighted run off coefficient is by far difficult
as the catchments covered by different land features with
varying area coverage (which is not known for Gelane
project catchments)
b. This method is applicable for small areas up to 50km 2.
c. Estimation of Itc, p requires some other regional constants
based on catchments behavior.
QP=f (A)
6 T
Kt = [.57721 ln(ln[ ])]
x T 1
T=return period
Cv=the average Coefficient of variation (=.38 for most cases)
The formula is safely adopted for most Ethiopia basins under the given area
range, however; the basin area under our consideration is not in the domain
and hence we can’t use this method to estimate the peak discharge.
To developed unit hydrographs for catchments, detailed information about
the rain fall is needed. Then the resulting flood hydrograph are obtained.
However, this formula not applicable for our case, because we have the area
& the length catchments
2. Synthetic Unit Hydrographe Technique (SNYDER’S METHOD)
such information would-be available only at few locations and in majority of
catchments the data would normally be scanty .In order to construct unit
hydrograph for such areas, empirical equations of regional validity that relate
the salient hydrograph characteristics to the basin catchments are
available .Unit hydrographs derived from such relation ships are known as
Synthetic Unit Hydrographs.
Snyder’s Method
Snyder (1938) developed a set of empirical equation for synthetic unit
hydrographs in USA. This equation used with some modifications in many
other countries and so called Snyder’s Synthetic Unit Hydrograph.
The first of the Snyder’s equation relates the basin lag tp, defined as the
interval from the mid point of the unit rain fall excess to the peak of unit
hydrograph, to the basin characteristics as ,
Tp=Ct (L*Lca) hr
L – Basin length measured along the watercourse from the basin divide to the
gauging station in km.
Lca – distance along the watercourse from the gauging station to appoint
opposite the watershed centered in km.
Ct – regional constant, representing watershed slope &storage.
Better correlation of basin lag tp with catchments parameter, (L*Lca)/ s is
obtained by et al .as
L Lca n
Tp=Ctl [ ]
s
2.78 * Cp * A
QP= tp where A-Catchments area km2
Cp – a regional constant
If anon standard rain fall duration tr is adopted, instead of the standard
value tr derive a unit hydrograph, the value of the basin lag’s affected .The
tR tr
modified basin lag is given by: tp’=tp+ 4 where tp – basin lag in hrs

3.1 General
Every crop requires a certain quantity of water after a certain field interval
throughout its period growth .If the natural rain is sufficient and timely soas
satisfy both those requirement no irrigation water is required for raising that
crop. But countries like Ethiopia the natural rainfall is erratic if it does so
meeting the timely requirement is a must. Crop water requirement is defined
as the total amount of water required at fixed head to mature a crop, of
course, it is includes the amount required to meet loss though evaporation
losses through transpiration, plant metabolism needs application and
quantity of water required for operational land preparation, leaching etc.
The effective rain fall is collected accurately to the formula developed by the
USDA soil conservation service.

4.1 General
When the rain fall of area is not enough to satisfied crop water demand,
additional water has to be applied from available water source based on their
quality for irrigation proposes to get the expected crop.
Three main types of water application
1) Sprinkler irrigation
2) Trickle irrigation
3) Canal (surface water) irrigation

1. Furrow Spacing
Spacing depend on up on type of crop grown and type of machine used for
planting and cultivation. Crop like maize and potato are placed 60 to 90cm
apart and vegetable (carrot, anion, lettuce) crops are selected 30 to 40cm.
while fruit crops are required wide spaced, generally more than one furrow
between crop rows.
Peppers 80*30cm
Onion 60*40cm
Maize 75*40cm
Bean 100*50cm
Banana 200*200cm
Cotton 85*50cm
2. Furrow Length – the optimum length furrow is usually the longest furrow
so that can be safe& efficient irrigate. the length furrow which can be efficient
irrigated As short as 45m on soil which take up water rapidly or as much as
300 m longer On soils with low infiltration rate .the length of furrow limited
by size & shape of the field
Table 4.2 Furrow length suggested maximum lengths of cultivated furrow (m)
for different slope are depth of water applied (A.M. Michael, 1978)

2 220 270 340 400 180 280 300 340 60 90 150
4. Furrow Stream – the size of furrow stream the one factor which can be
valid after furrow irrigation system has been instead. The size of furrow
stream usual varied from 0.5 to 0.25l/season. We use the general guide line
for slop which has been developed by Furrow in flow is given by infiltration
rate which for depend on soil texture.
Furrow stream (q) the size of furrow stream is one of the factors which can
be varied after the furrow irrigation system has bean installed. The size of the
stream varied from 0.2l/s to0.3l/s the maximum non erosive flow rate in
furrow is given by the following formula
qm=0.6/s=0.6/2=0.3l/s

CHAPTER FIVE
5.1 General
A well designed distribution system consisting of a net work canal is required
to take away water from the canal head works such as
weir,barrage,reserviour or storage dam to the field .based on the water
requirement of the crop on the area to be irrigated the entire system of the
main canal, secondary canal, tertiary canal &field distribution should be
design properly for a certain realistic value of peak discharge that must
pass through them to provided sufficient irrigation to the commands
In hill area it should be design so as to balance cut &fill earth work as far as
possible for economy reason .but canals in high fill area more difficult to
construct ion &would in genera high loss of water by seepage for this reason
when ever possible the whose canal section is preferable if it is in cutting.

Drop structure is constructed on a canal to lower down the water level and
the bed level of the canal to minimize the potential. It is therefore designed to
dissipate the energy, but it has to be resist the scoring effect. For discharge
less than 8m^3/s vertical drop is best and economical.

6.1 General
The processes where by surplus water is removed from the land. It includes
both internal drainage is the term applied to systems for dealing with excess
water that describe all of soil and the collection and dispersal of surface
runoff. By its nature, irrigation creates periodically saturation condition of
upper layers of soil formation over a long period where intensive irrigation is
practiced; even deep soil layers tend to become saturated and consequently
underground water table rises in absence of adequate drainage facilities. The

8. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
The main of economical Analysis is to check weather a given project is
economical or not. A given project said to be economically feasible implies
that the total benefit of the project exceeds the total cost of the project (i.e.
benefit cost ratio of the project should be greater than one)

CHAPTER NINE
9.1 General
During the construction of different projects, including irrigation system,
those are intended to produce some developments, may cause irreversible
environmental changes over a wide geographic area and thus have a potential
for significant impacts. The area of influence of the project extends from the
upper limits of the catchments to far down stream. Therefore the project such
as Gelana irrigation structure system, are designed to enhance economic
development and bring a better standard of life to people due consideration
should be given to their adverse environmental and social effects. This can be
done through environmental impact assessment (EIA) which is a management
tool for officials and manager who take decision about important development
project. The EIA not only predicts potential problems but also identifies
measures to minimize the problems and out lines ways to improve the project
suitability for its proposed environment.
The aim of environmental impact assessments is;
To understand the likely environmental consequences of redevelopments.
To understand the amplification of proposed interventions.
To identify measures by which the impacts can be mitigated.
To present the results in such away that they can provide answers needed
by stakeholders.
Generally EIA can be described in short as an instrument used to identify,
predict and assess the environmental consequences of a proposed major
development project. Moreover EIA is used to plan appropriate measures to
reduce adverse effects.
Environmental impacts of any project can be classified in to two groups.
1. Negative impacts
2. Positive impacts
Negative impacts
1. Impacts on Physical Environment
2. Impacts on Biological Environment
3. Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment
sediment rating during operation phases. Like inclination of trees and other
vegetation may lead to increase in nitrate and phosphate imputes that would
initiate eutrophication (depletion of oxygen).
CHAPTER TEN
10. CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDATION
Based on the study and the result obtained the designed the following
conclusions and recommendations are made.
10.1 Conclusion
Contribution of ground water level is not taken in to account in CWR
Calculation.
The soil topography of the area is quite good for irrigation
To estimate of design flood there is no fittest data.
Determination of design flood taken from Gelana IDF depth storm,
followed by USSCS &finally by triangular hydrograph
The project area is alluvial loam soil in nature, good drainage facilities
for the lands are made.
Area allocation of each type of crop is based on dependability of crop on
different parameters like marketability, popularity and climatic
condition of command area.
Penman - Monteith method is used to calculate crop water demand of
the crops, which is accomplished by computer software program
Determination of effective rainfall using dependable rainfall
In n the project area there is no gauging station, therefore the six
nearest metrological stations are available, but Arba Minch climatic
Characteristics taken determination ETO
Surface irrigation design system is design by furdev compute software
Design of drainage canal done by maximum depth storm consider as
mean annual rainfall due to lack fittest data
10.2 Recommendations
The project cannot be handled the farmers only; it should be supported
by the government agency.
To prevent canal from being silt up cleaning irrigation canal timely is
important
The data collected for student project work, some data is missing the
concerned body of the university should be check the basic data input
before deliver to student
Education and training should be given to the farmers for adopting
practice of conservative use of water on scientific manner.
Formation of water users association can enhance peaceful usage of
irrigation water and resolution of conflicts.
