Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project

June 2009

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.

1.2 Location of project area


The project area is located in an Abaya-Chamo sub-basin 0f the rift valley
lakes basin found in the southern part of the country with in Oromiya and
SNNPR regional states. The Gelana irrigation project area is located between
50 25'-6O18'N and 37050'-380 20' E at about 450 km south of Addis Ababa
both in SNNPRS (Amaro special District) and Oromia reginal state (Galana
District) to south of lake Abaya

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.

1.5 Climate of the area


There are six observation stations for recording climate data near the project
area.Those metrological stations are located Amarokello, Arba Minch,
Burji,Fisseha Gent,Ager Mariam andYirga Chefe.There fore ,Arba Minch
station is used as an alternative station located in the same climatic condition
to the project area. This station is adapted for estimation of both the open
water evaporation (EO) and Reference ETO for the project area.

1.6 Objective of the project


The main objectives of the project are:
 To increase the income of beneficiaries that gradually changes their
living standards.
 To utilize exiting resource in better way and reduce wastages material
and human dependency in rainfall
 To improve the socio economic life community by increasing per capital
income.

1.7 Socio and Economic study

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.

Because of the poor performance of agricultural production system its


consequent results, the farmers are exposed to food shortage and forced to
live below the subsistence level. Irrigation development is the option to
improve the living standard of the area. This ensures food self-sufficiency and
reduces poverty.

1.7.2 Labor supply and Demand


During construction in the project area there is no shortage of labor. For
excavation and other unskilled construction works labor can be easily found
around the site. Farmers can be immediately available labor directly to
involve in the labor contribution and large quantities of material in which
accessibility, uniform and availability for engineering materials constriction.

1.7.3 Project Benefits


The implementation of the project will have social and economic importance
in improving the livelihood of the population .It also increases the
productivity and production, brings changes in social development, improves
income of the beneficiaries and improves socio cultural facilities

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

middle.
 Effective soil depth: The command area has very effective depth of soil
of greater than 150 cm.
 Color: The command area has reddish brown surface color when
moisture.
 Structure: The surfaces oil structure of the command area is medium.
 Consistency: The consistency of soil of command area is slightly hard
when dry, friable when moist and plastic when wet.
 Pores: Pores are common with medium site
 Parent material: The parent material of the area is igneous rock basalt)

1.9 Water quality


The qualities of available water more desirable than soil characteristics in
determine the suitability of lands for irrigation. So quality of Gelana River is
good for irrigation and salinity problem of the water is expected free. This may
concluded that the area selected for irrigation project.
The various types of impurity which the water unfits for irrigation area
classified us;
 Sedimentation concentration in water.
 Total concentration of soluble salt in water.
 Proportion of sodium ions to other cation.
 Concentration of potentially toxic element present in the water.
 Bacteria contamination

2 HYDROLOGICAL DATA ANALYSES


2.1 General
Hydrology, which treats all faces of the earth water, is subject of great
importance for people and there environment. Practical applications of
hydrology are found in such tasks as the design and operation of hydraulic
structures. The role of hydrology is to help analyzing the problems involved in
these tasks and to provide guidance for the planning and management of
water resources.
Different attributes of hydraulic structures are directly dependant on the
peak flood magnitude adopted in the design process and the stream flow
records available at the project site. Hence, stream flow (precipitation) records
are the major data required in planning and operation of hydraulic
structures.

2.2 Checking Available Data


In the design of a project it is vital to collect or to obtain relevant data. For
realistic and accurate design, it is essential that the collected data should be
continuous, consistent, reliable and adequate.
Gauged mean monthly rainfall station &monthly volume of stream data are
available in the Gelana irrigation project. These data are not used to
determine the maximum flood. The maximum probable rain fall is obtained
from rainfall intensity duration frequency analysis &depth storm, so it is
sufficient for analysis. As a result it is necessary to go for the determination of
runoff using complicated relationship between precipitation and runoff.

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.

2.2.3 Design Discharge Determination


A flood used for the design of a structure on consideration of its safety,
economy, life expectancy and probable damage consideration for important
structure at strategic locates, virtually non-risk can be taken for its failure.
The flood selected for design of such structure should be probably be the
highest For any structure hydrological analysis at least ten year daily peak
discharge should available .The available rainfall should also be recent
collected, but for Gelana irrigation project the available data mean monthly
rainfall& monthly flow, which is not recommended to generate peak flood.

2.2.4 Rainfall intensity –duration frequency (IDF) analysis


IDF relation ships are use full to determine the depth of storm rainfall of
different return periods & duration. According to regional IDF curve
the total storm rainfall starting from 1-hour duration to 72-hours is shown in
table 2.2 for various return periods occurances.the24-hour total storm rain
fall depth is recommended for the irrigation engineer to generate the design
parameters of discharge at field level.

5. USSCS (United States Soil Conservation Service)

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.

Because of the above limitations (250km 2greaterthan50km2), rational method


is not convenient for the determination of peak flood for Gelana irrigation
project.

2. Empirical formula Method


The empirical used for estimation of flood peak are essentially regional
formula based on statistical correlation of the observed peak and observed
catchments parameters.
Generally, this method is given as a function of catchments area.

QP=f (A)

Arba Minch University Department of final

Water Resources &Irrigation Eng’g 9
Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project
June 2009

For example Admassu developed an empirical formula through regression


analysis of 42 catchments in Ethiopia with area ranging from 200-9980km^2.
QP=Q (1+kt*Cv) ---------------------------general formula
Q=.87*A^.7---------------------------------Dr.Admassu’s relation
Where A-Catchments area (km2)
Kt-frequency factor

 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

Arba Minch University Department of final

Water Resources &Irrigation Eng’g 10
Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project
June 2009

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

Where Ctl and n are basin constants & s is basin slope


Snyder as gives standards duration tr hrs of effective rainfall

The peak discharge Q[m3/s] of a hydrograph of standard duration tr hrs is


given by Snyder as

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

When Tr=tr, QP=Qps


Snyder as gives the time base (tb) of unit hydrograph

Tb=3+ days  (72  3tp )

Finally, to assist in the sketching of unit hydrographs at 50 percentage &75%
of the peak have been found US catchment’s by the US army corps of
engineers. These widths are given by:
5.18 W 50
W50= q 1.08 & W 75  1.75

Where W5 – width of unit hydrograph in hr at 50% peak discharge


W75-width of unit hydrograph in hr at 75% peak discharge
Q=QP/A, peak discharge per unit catchments area in m3/s/km
Since the coefficients Ct and Cp vary from region to region , in practical
application .It is advisable that the value of these coefficients are determined
from known unit hydrograph of a meteorologically homogeneous catchments
and other used in the basin under study.For our case Snyder’s method is not
applicable because, it works for derivation of unit hydrograph for cachement,
where rain fall & run off data not available.
4. Flood Frequency Analysis Method
When the stream flow peaks are arranged in the descending order of
magnitude, they constitute statically array whose distribution can be
expected in terms of frequency of occurrence. The probability ‘p’ of each event
being equal to or exceeded (plotting position) formula.
m
P=
N 1
Where m=order number of the events and N=Total number of events in the
data. The recurrence interval (T) return interval, is calculated as
1
T= p

In our case there is measured flow data it is possible to determine the


probability of occurrence of daily maximum rainfall (rain fall frequency
analysis).The general equation for flood frequency analysis is:

XT=Xav+k*sd-------------------------------------- (Chow 1951)


Where XT=Value of variant(X)of random hydrologic series with return period
(T)
Xav=Mean value of variant
sd=standard deviation of variant
k=frequency factor which depends up on the return period (t) and
assumed frequency distribution.
This also not applicable, because our given data are area, length& slope of the
catchments’.

5. USSCS (United States Soil Conservation Service)


This method also known as hydrologic soil cover complex number method
was developed by united state: under department agricultural soil
conservation for determine peak rate of run off from water shades. a run off
curve number(CN)is developed through field studies by measuring run off
from different soil at various lacotion.the antecedence moisture condition
&physical characteristics of the water shade are correlated to give hydrologic
soil groups. Finally this method hydrograph synthesis to be represent in a
simple geometric form as a triangle
The design flood, which is expected ton, occur during period of the diversion
scheme, is therefore determined by USSCS method to this end the storm that
is estimated by IDF is adopted.

CHAPTER THREE

3. WATER DEMAND AND WATER DELIVER

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.

3.2 Crop Water Requirement


Crop water requirement is the total quantity of water needed by it’s from the
time it is shown the time it is harvested. The crop required water through out
the growing period. The water requirement of crop may be contributed from
different source such as irrigation, effective rain fall, soil moisture storage
and ground water contribution
CRW=IR+ER+S+GW
Where CWR=crop water requirement
IR=irrigation requirement
ER=effective rain fall
S=soil moisture in root zone

GW=ground water contribution


Irrigation requirement of crop (IR); it is defined as the part of water
requirement
of crops that should be fulfilled by irrigation.
IR =CWR-(ER+S+GW)
effective rain fall defend as the rain fall that stored in root zone & can be
utilized by crop. But all the rain fall that falls is not use full or effective
different methods to determine effective rain fall from monthly total rain fall
data. Fixed percentage effective rain fall is taken as a fixed percentage.
The monthly rain fall
ER=% of total rain fall
1. Dependable Rain fall
Crop water need can be fully or partly meet by rain fall. Rain fall for each
Period will vary from year to year &therefore. rather than using mean rain fall
data (saying rough one year drier &next wet. a dependable level of rain fall
should be selected (saying the depth of rain fall that can be expected in four
out five years or 80% probability of exceedence).also the degree of shortage
below the dependable level during the dry year should given, science loss in
crop yield during the dry year, May significantly, affect to the project
economic visibility.
Ranking Method
Rain fall data ware arranged in descending order for each month without
change them in to annual value rainfall figure ware arranged in descending
order for each month &80% probability of exceedence obtain.

The effective rain fall is collected accurately to the formula developed by the
USDA soil conservation service.
TOTAL RAINFALL
Effective rain fall =

Ground Water Contribution (GWC):


The actual contributed from the ground water table is dependable on the
depth of ground water table below the root zone & capillary character tic of
soil .for clay soil the rate of movement is slow &distance p ward movement is
high while for light texture soil the rate is high &distance of movement is
slow.
Soil moisture (S)-this the moisture retained in the root zone between
cropping season.
Net irrigation requirement (NIR)-after the exact evapotranspiration of crop
has been determined. The NIR should be determine .this is the net amount of
water applied to the crop by irrigation exclusive of ER, S & GW
NIR=CWR-ER-S-GW
Gross irrigation requirement (GIR) more amount of water than the NIR is
applied during irrigation to compensate for un avoidable losses.

 Type of the soil: Detail survey should be carried out to determine the
suitability of the soil.
 Climatic condition: The climatic condition of the area should be suitable
for the proposed crop.
 Value of crop: The selected crop which have high market value
 Socio-economic aspect: When deciding the crop pattern, the socio-
economic aspect and requirement of the region must be considered.

3.5 Determination of Crop water requirement


The amount of water required compensate the evapotranspiration loss from
the filed is defined as crop water requirement. Using to the difficulty of
obtaining accurate filed measurement predication method for crop water
requirement are used .the most important data needed to be known.
1. The effect of climatic in crop water requirement.
2. The effect of crop x-ices in crop water requirement
3. This is generally given by crop coefficient (KC) which presents the
relationship between references ETO of evapotranspiration ETC or
ETC=KC*ETO
4. The effect of local condition & agricultural practice s on crop water
requirements.
This includes the local effect of variations in climate over time, distance &
altitude. Size of fields, soil water availability irrigation water quality etc.

3.5.1Reference evapotranspiration (ETO)


The reference evapotranspiration is defined as the rate of evapotranspiration
from an extensive surface of 8 to15cm tall, green grass cover of uniform
height actively growing, completely shading the ground and not short of
water. It can be measured or computed by

3.6 Crop Coefficient (kc)


Crop coefficient is used to relate the potential evapotranspiration (ETO) to the
Consumptive evapotranspiration of the crop ETC
ET crop =KC*ETO
The selection of KC depends on the following information &crop date of
growing.Climate data –these are wind speed and humidity length and total
growing season, includes
Initial stage –germination to18% ground cover
Development stage –from 10% to 80% ground cover
Mid stage -80% ground cover to repairing
Last stage –from start, repairing to harvesting
Procedure steps needed to arrive at KC value for different growing stage are
as follows
1. Establish planting or growing date from locale information or from
principal climate zone.

6. Late season stage for time of full maturity or harvesting with a few day,
select KC value from table (FAO, 24) & plot value at end growing season
&full maturity. Assume straight line between KC values at mid -season
period at the end of growing
7. Development stage: Assume straight line between KC values at end of
initial to start of the mid season.

3.8 Irrigation Scheduling


Irrigation scheduling is the schedule in which water is applied to the field.
The schedule of irrigation can be field Irrigation scheduling and Field
irrigation supply scheduling.

3.8.1Field Irrigation Schedule


It is practiced at the field. The two, parameter of irrigation scheduling. a)Root
depth (D)Rooting depth is that depths of soil in which plant root penetrate &
extract moisture& nutrient for its growth rooting depth increasing with
increasing in the age of the plant crop water requirement are largely govern
by the root zone depth.
The depth irrigation (d) is given by
Dnet = As*D (FC-Pwp) *P
Where Dnet=net depth (m)
AS=apparent specific gravity of soil
D=effective root zone depth (m)
FC=water content of soil at FC

The objective of water delivery and distribution system is to deliver water
adequately, efficiency and reliably to the required farm level. The system must
deliver the required water that comes sustain the field crop with irrigation
interval (T).

CHAPTER FOUR

3. DESIGN OF IRRIGATION APPILICATION SYSTEM

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
Arba Minch University Department of final
year project
Water Resources &Irrigation Eng’g 44
Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project
June 2009

The implementations depend up on the economy, type of crop to be grown,


type of soil, climatical condition and topography of area to be irrigated. For
Galena irrigation project we proposed canal (surface) irrigation. Due to the
following reason.
 Low capital investment
 Cultivation easer in medium loam soil
 Successfully used in irrigation like crops cotton, maize, & vegetable
etc.

4.2 Surface Water Application


Surface irrigation refers to broad class of irrigation in which the soil surfaces
convey and distributed water over the irrigated field at the same time
infiltration in to under laying profile. As the crop to be irrigated, the soil and
topography of our project area necessary the use of furrow irrigation, we
managed to design this system alone for crops.

4.2.1 Furrow Irrigation


Furrow irrigation refers to water that is into as runs down sloping channels
which are cut or pressed into the soil. Design could be accepted if water
application efficiency is greater than 60%-70%, with less than 10% deep
percolation and 20% run of loss, while storage efficiency is greater than 85 to
95%.Most crops could be irrigated by furrow and is best suited to medium to
moderate fine texture soil will relative high holding capacity and conductivity.

4.2.2 Design of Furrow Irrigation System


To be best efficient irrigation by furrow method is obtained by selecting
proper combination.
- furrow spacing
- furrow length
- furrow slope
- suitable size of irrigation stream
- Duration of water.

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.

Arba Minch University Department of final


year project
Water Resources &Irrigation Eng’g 45
Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project
June 2009

while fruit crops are required wide spaced, generally more than one furrow
between crop rows.

Table 4.1 Spacing between crop row and plant.(FAO,24)

Crop Spacing between row and plant

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)

3. Furrow Slope – the slope on grade of furrow is important because it


control the speed at which water flow Dow furrow. A minimum furrow grade
0.05% is needed to ensure quick surface drainge.the following slope are
suitable for different type of soil
Recommended slope
Sand loam to sandy soil 0.25%-0.6%
Medium loam soil 0.0.2%-0.4 %( for Gelana project)
Clay to clay loam soil 0.05%-0.2%
Source (A.M.Michael, 1978) slope recommended for border apply to
furrowalso.

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.

Application Depth
The depth of water applied per irrigation .it can be calculated from cropwat.
Opportunity time
The difference between the time at which water front reaches a particular
point along the furrow and the time the tail water recedes from the same
point.
Advance time (TA) the time at which the advanced water reaches a
particular point.

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

Where qm= maximum non erosive flow rate (l/s)

5. ALIGNMENT & DESIGN OF CANAL & CANAL STRUCTURE

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

5.2 Canal Alignment


In relatively plan areas it should attempt to align the main canals along
ridgeline between adjacent valleys. Branch canal &distribution
 May also be aligned along the ridge lines of secondary valleys .this
configuration reduced the need for costly cross drainage works &facilitate
the construction of drainage canal along the lowest lying areas ,how ever
this would increase the number of drops in the main canal, thereby
reducing the gravity command able area .It is therefore, preferable that
the main canal would follow the highest possible counter with minimum
slope where as secondary& tertiary canals are suggested to be either along
or across the contours to mach the topography,sothat finally the field
canals are aligned across & the furrow along the counter canals should be
as straight as possible because Sharpe curve lead to scour on the out side
&siltation on the inner side of the canal, thereby requiring constant
alternation .

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.

5.3 Hydraulic Design of Canal


A canal is said to be designed when it’s longitudinal and cross sections are
worked out to suit requirements. Thus various canal dimensions for example
bed width, depth said slop, longitudinal slop are to be fixed in design of

irrigation canal. Irrigation canal are designed to take maximum required


discharge safely which is called full supply discharge. Since there is Adam 30
Km before diversion head work, it is considered that sufficient water is
available. So the canal is designed for continuous supply system. soil of
Galina is alluvial, this type of soilis formed by transport of different soil
particle. Based on arbitrary particle size Kennedy propose critical velocity
ratio (m).

5.3.1 Design Discharge


Design discharge in the maximum flow that the canal carry at all season to
fulfill the water demand of cops. The net scheme Irrigation requirement has
been found to be 0.41 l/sec/ha.The FSL of MC1that is found at the right
bank of Gelana river is 8.205 m3/s where as 1.78 m3/s of MC2 at the left
bank.

Earth 0.0225-0.035

5.3.4 Canal Side Slope


The side slop of the canal should be as steep as possible being un stable
either wet or dry. For smaller canal in the system side slop 1V:1H has been
adopted. The recommended slop for main & secondary canal is 1V: 1.5H or
1V: 2H

5.3.5 Free board


It is the margin between full supply level (FSL) of canal and bank level. The
recommended free board by Lacey’s is
FB=0.2+0.15Q1/3

5.3.6 Design of Main Canal


The cross section of the main canal varies as the distance of the canal
increases as the design of main canal held by considering the amount of
water diverted through the off taking canals up stream of each division of the
main canal. For ever topography and rocky area around diversion head work
of Gelana irrigation project lined cement plastered masonry type rectangular
canal is provided.

5.3.7 Tertiary Canals


Tertiary canal are also designed as main and secondary canals using
Kennedy theory. Since the canals are designed along the contour a minimum
of drop structure required. They are off taking using canal outlet from
secondary canals and distribute to the field canals in the same manner.

5.4 Canal Structures

5.4.1 Expansion Transition.


A canal transition is a gradual change in the cross section of a canal flow
from one uniform state to another. After the end of rectangular canal
expansion transition is provided to join trapezoidal unlined canal. There are
three types of design method Hindus design method is recommended for
deferent depth of flow.

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. DRAINAGE

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
Arba Minch University Department of final
year project

knowledge of drainage engineering is very essential to solve this problem.


Waterlogged land is of little use; however, it can be utilized after providing
proper drainage arrangement. Usually in undulating country, the surface
slopes are sufficient to carry off this surplus water into the ditches and
stream without any engineering construction. Low lying flat areas are usually
invariably near or below the flood level of the river. In order to prevent the
area from flooding the river must be trained; it is usually done by
constructing of embankments. Like this, we must construct drainage canal in
order to prevent the irrigation canal from silting.

6.2 Selections of Drainage Systems


Drainage may be artificial or natural. Drains are termed artificial when they
are constructed after proper consideration of existing conditions and function
to be served. Artificial drains are generally constructed to dispose off surplus
water quickly, before it gets absorbed deep into the soil. Drainage can be
classified into two main systems.
Those are:
1 -Surface drainage system
2 -Subsurface drainage system

6.2.1 Surface Drainage Systems


Surface drainage problem occur in nearly flat area, uneven land surface with
depression or ridges preventing natural runoff and in areas without outlet.
Soils with low infiltration rates are susceptible to surface drainage problem.
Surface drainage is intended for safe removal of excess water from the land
surface through land shaping and canal construction. Function of the system
may be considered as:

-Collection systems
-conveying systems
-Outlet system

6.2.2 Subsurface Drainage System


Subsurface drainages are required for soils with poor internal drainage and a
high water table. This type of drain does not hinder movement in the field but
they have high initial investment cost. Water from the individual field is
collected and is then removed through a system to the outlet. Generally,
surface drainage is required for-
1. The removal of storm rainfall where the subsurface drainage is not

economically feasible
2. The collection and disposal of surface irrigation runoff
3. The collection and disposal of drainage in deltaic area

6.3 Design of Surface Drainage Canals


Mean annual rainfall (MAR)
MAR is the average of the total yearly rainfall of long year record For this
project the mean annual rainfall of GELANA is taken and is found to be
906.8mm
Table 6.1 Max side slope for drainage canal

Soil type
Sandy, Soft clay 3:1
Sandy clay, Silt loam 2:1
Fine clay, Clay loam 0.5:1

6.3.1 Drainage coefficient (DC)


The drainage coefficient is the amount of water that must be removed from
soil surface in order to have sustainable agriculture. It depends, on depth of
irrigations, method of irrigation, leaching requirement and soil
characteristics. There are different methods for estimating drainage
coefficient. Those are:
#1 10 %MAR method
Where: MAR= mean annual rainfall
For GELANA irrigable area, MAR =906.3 mm
DC = 1 %906.3mm
DC = 9.063mm
#2 Hudson (1983)’s method
In this method the following two conditions are considered
If MAR <1000 mm, DC = 10 mm/day
If MAR >1000 mm, DC = MAR/100 mm/day
Since MAR =906.3 mm, DC=9.063 mm/day
#3 Muzumdor methods
In this method, the following table is provided for estimation of drainage
coefficient from MAR.

The capacity of the drainage canal is determined based on the area coverage
of tertiary and field distributes canals.
From different types of drainage canals, the trapezoidal drainage canal is
selected. The reason is that trapezoidal canal is more economical than the
other canals.

CHAPTER SEVEN

7. HEAD WORK DESIGN

7.1General
Diversion head work are those works which are constructed at the head of a
canal to divert the river to wards the main canal, so as to ensure a regulate
continuous supply water free from silt.wier is an obstruction or a barrier
constructed across a river. The obstruction is of smaller in comparison with
the dam. It raises the water level and supply water to off take canal.

7.1.1Location of weir
When selecting location of weir the following consider
1. From the counter map of state farm, the location where the required
Head to irrigate the farm is develop
2. The selecting site should be economical
a) Having short main canal
b) River bank should stable
c) Should be in straight reach
d) Good foundation available at the site
e) Site easily accessible by road

7.1.2 Selection of Weir Type


The weir may be broadly divided in to three:
1. Vertical drop weir this type of weir was used in most case, particularly
suitable for consolidated gravel foundation.
2. Rock fill weir is suitable for fine sandy foundation. Such weir requires
huge quantity of stone and is economical only when the stone is easily
available.

3. Concrete glacis or sloping weir.


This type of weir is used on permeable foundation and is generally
provided with low crest. In deciding the type of the weir, the following
conditions should be considered.
 Economy of construction
 Foundation condition
 Size of the project
 Head across the weir and practically during implementation taking all the
above factors & the case for construction & suitability of foundation
masonry weir of vertical drop is selected for this particular irrigation
project.

Retrogression=0.5m (Source: Dr .kR Aroara)
Silt factor, dm=0.232
G=2.24

7.3Hydraulic Design of Weir


Determination of the crest level
a) Average level of highest field = 1293m
b) Head loss across the field = 0.1 m
c) Head loss at the turn out = 0.15 m
d) Head loss at the head regulator = 0.32 m (Dr .KR..Arora)
e) Water depth required = 1.39m(data from canal design part)
f) Slope of the canal * distance of the highest point from the weir
= 0.0014* 200+0.000198*3400=0.96 m
Therefore, the crest level of the weir=1293+0.1+0.15+0.32+1.43+0.96
=1296.OO
Weir height = Crest Level of the Weir – River Bed Level

7.4 Energy Dissipation


During the flood season, when high flood occurs over the weir crest water
falls from the maximum reservoir level of u/s to the d/s tail water and the
difference b/n the u/s and d/s energy grade line becomes very high. There
fore, the energy must be dissipated before it reaches the natural river source:
other wise it causes damage to d/s of the apron. The energy tends to
dissipate through a hydraulic jump d/s of the weir .To control the location of
the jump stilling basin is designed.

7.5 Stability Analysis of Weir


The design section has to be safe against sliding, over turning & tension
requirement .stability analysis of the proposed weir is carried out by
considering the various external. Forces acting on it. The external force
including.
 Uplift pressure is considered for the weir wall.
 Water wedge weight is considered for weir crest only
 Self weight
 Unit weight of water and masonry is taken to be 9.81 and 24 KN/m 3
respectively.
 Moment is taken about the toe per meter width the effect of this force
acting on design structure varies from place to place, foundation condition
of the site height of the design structure.

7.6 Design of Under Sluice


This structure has crest at level to develop a deep channel pocket, which will
help to bring flow dry weather discharge to wards this pocket, there by
ensuring easy division of water in to the canal through the head regulator.
This opening will also help in scouring and removing the deposited silt from
the under sluice pocket.
Designed with the discharge of;
1) Twice the discharge of the off taking canal capacity Q=2*8.2=16.4m*3/sec
2) 20% of the max. Flood, Q=0.2*115=23m*3/sec
Therefore, Qsluice will be max. of the above. Qsluice=23m*3/sec
Providing one under sluice with 2m width (divide wall is provided between the
proper weir and the under sluice).

7.7 Design of head regulator


It is provided at the head of the off taking canal and has the following
objectives;
1. To regulate the supply of water in to the canal
2. To completely shutout the high flood from entering to the canal.
3. To control the entry of silt to the canal.
The regulation is provided by the gate which is fixed in such a way that,
the discharge or desired capacity of water can easily flow in to the intake
canal. The intake canal is placed so as the top level should be less than or
equal to the crest level of the proper weir. Crest levels
1) Under sluice=the crest level of under sluice is equal to the river bed
level=1293.5m.

2) Head regulator=is kept 1.2 to 1.5m higher than the crest level of the under
sluice (say 1.5m) =1293.5+1.5=1295m.

CHAPTER NINE

9. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

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

Arba Minch University Department of final


year project
Water Resources &Irrigation Eng’g 93
Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project
June 2009

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

9.2 IMPACTS ON PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

9.2.1 Impacts on Hydrology


The irrigation structures have little impact on the total available water
butsome detrimental effect on the distribution of water in terms of space and
time. This has a significant effect on aquatic resource, recession agriculture
wild life movements and other human activities downstream of the scheme.
All these and other effects are brought about through the reduction and flood
modification i.e. alteration to the liver regime.

9.2.2. Impact on Water Quality


Irrigation projects usually yield high sediments during construction and low
Arba Minch University Department of final
year project
Water Resources &Irrigation Eng’g 94
Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project
June 2009

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).

9.2.3. Impact on Water logging


The Water logging risk is common problem of the area due to the perched
water table, because of the heavy soils.

9.2.4 Impact on Deforestation


Trees and bosh are cleared from the project area, to provide safe irrigation
system the clearances must be carried out over the whole area, including
large trees if they interfere the irrigation lay out & area crop spraying. The
types of bush’s & vegetable are dense woody bush with tall trees changes the
whole environmental system & disturb the wild life habitat.

9.2.5. Reduction of Down Stream


Below the dam site the flow regimes such as flood frequency, Velocity and
volume reduce gradually. This charges the original river morphology and
sediment transport of the down stream river basin.

9.2.6. Increase Risks of Erosion


During the clearance of trees and vegetation, heavy weight of balloters
capacity which consequences light surface flow &soil erosion. At the heavy
rain fall the flood flow easily facilitate soil erosion since there are no enough
trees to mitigate and reduce the flow. During the practice of the land leveling
the soil is disaggregated and is comes structurally weak. Earth work activities
for roads, civil works, construction camps, etc. will remove and district the
natural vegetation and top soil particularly on the steeper slopes increasing
the potential for erosion. Roads are important contributor to soil erosion,
primarily because they concentrate and distribute runoff as channel flow
rather than a uniform over land or subsurface flow.

9.2.7. Impacts on Minerals and Construction Materials


No any mineral occurs have been identified from the impact areas. The likely
impact would be on construction materials mainly bed rocks for masonry,
aggregate materials etc and quarries for various purposes.

Arba Minch University Department of final


year project
Water Resources &Irrigation Eng’g 95
Preliminary Design of Gelana Irrigation Project
June 2009

9.2.8. Impact of Air Quality


Air pollution is common during construction phase. Dust pollution caused by
frequent movement of the construction vehicles and machineries coupled
with wind effects suspended particles are the cause for many diseases. In
addition to dust exhaust fumes or emissions released by diesel operating
equipment cause air pollution.

9.3 Impacts on Biological Environment

9.3.1. Flora and Fauna


Plant will certainly cause loss of natural vegetation and fauna available in
those sites due to construction irrigation system.
In most of the impact areas a fairly dense wood land or wooden grassland will
be affected permanently. Animals moved to the adjacent areas could become
more vulnerable to poaching by the local people or immigrant people during
the construction period.

9.4. Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment

9.4.1. Loss of Land and Other Fixed Properties


Since the method is surface or over head irrigation the great area is lost by
aligning canal &furrows. The main impact for the surrounding local
community will be losses of grazing land, bush land and wood land areas that
comprise bushes and grasses which used to build houses. More over, the
communication net work and social infrastructure will be affecting.

9.4.2. Increased Risk Disease


During construction period there will be job opportunities attracting labor
force from out side the area. This new influx will change the existing
population. The main effects will be increased exposure of workers and their
families to locally endemic diseases and sexually transmitted diseases. Open
water ways and ponds inevitable involve risk of an invasion of material
mosquitoes and other bore health hazards. In the project area saints which
are the principal cause for a disease is called bilharzias, is mainly in habited
in outlet works of dam and to main canal hade works.

9.5 Remedial Measures


The proposed remedial measures and the impacts are shown below in the
following table.

Table 9.1 Negative Environmental Impacts and Remedial Measures.

Impact Remedial Measures


1 Soil erosion - For any road construction side drains
longitudes drains, culverts and appropriate angle of
wet and fill should be incorporated to combat soil
erosion.
- Erodible surface should be cut only during
dry weather and replanted a soon as possible.
Water quality - Design ways and means to minimize erosion
2 and sediments, chemical pollution from
construction activities, pollution from human and
domestic waste from the camps and offices from
entering in to the river canals.
- Conducting periodic water quality monitoring
and dry out the canals to kill snails and
mosquitoes.

3 Air quality - Dust collectors or water spray systems is


require to prevent high dust emissions from batch
plant operations.
- Diesel engines of construction equipment
should be subjected to regular checking and
cleaning of the inspectors to minimize emissions.
4 deforestation - Remove vegetation as possible during the
development.

5 Loss of fixed - Provision of financial compensation for hours


properties and land and land loss to made way for the project.
- Allocation of financial compensation on the
basses of lost income from the land and the time
and labor necessary to bring new land into use.
6 Water logging - Buried pipe drains installed at low depth to
reduce the water table depth.

7 Health and sanitary - Employment of preventive and curative


issues measures to reduce transmission of communicable
diseased between the work force and the local
population.
- Health education campaign about sexually
transmitted diseases and their preventive
measures.
- Snail screens are incorporated in the design
of outlet works to avoid bilharzias.
- The design canals should flow relatively high
speed

9.6 POTENTIAL POSITIVE IMPACTS


Effects on human beings & manmade features. Effects of the development on
the surrounding area & landscape. Effects of the development on buildings,
the arch textural & historic heritage, & archaeological features. Increased
production when irrigation projects are implemented people can produce
crops with good yield in season other than rainy season & erratic rainfall
distributions i.e. crop production in dry season. More rounds of crops with

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.
