It essentially consists of concrete or masonry intake chamber of rectangular shape, admitting water through a coarse INTAKE CHAMBER PZTTIITTTT FIG. 3.24. CANAL INTAKE — screen. A fine screen is provided over the bell 1 pees the outlet pipe. The bell mouth entry is located the expected Jow water level in the canal. Water may flow from | Pipe under gravity if the filter house is situated at a lower el he the outlet pipe may serve as suction pipe, and pump house may be located on or near the canal bank. The intake is So constructed that it does not offer any appre fo normal flow in the canal. Otherwise, the intake chan inside the canal bank. Near the location of the intake canal is lined. Example 3.5. Design of a canal Intake _ Design a bell mouth canal intake for a city of 800 drawing water from a canal which runs for 10 hours a da depth of 1.8 m. Also calculate the head loss in the inta f the treatment works are 3 km away. Draw a neat skete canal intake.
