CE 459 Irrigation Engineering Spring 2020

COMPLEX ENGINEERING PROBLEM (CEP)

CLO’s assessment:

CLO 1: Elaborate Irrigation system, Indus Basin Irrigation system, its characteristics and
Water Resources of Pakistan
CLO 3: To design irrigation canals for various hydraulic conditions and parameters
CLO 5: Plan and design canal falls, outlets and cross drainage works

IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGN

An agricultural field is to be irrigated from a barrage through irrigation system.
1. Design the main canal offtaking from the barrage.
2. A distributary offtakes from the canal and provides water to a watercourse owned by a farmer.
Design an outlet at the end of distributary.
3. The natural terrain of the area is steeper than the design slope of the distributary. Design a fall
and make a sketch.
Given Data:
Design discharge of main canal=100m3/sec
Bleigh’s co efficient= 8
Outlet discharge=0.11 m3/sec
Full supply depth in distributary=1.5m
Full supply discharge at distributary= 10 m3/sec
Bed width=20m
U/S FSL=101m
D/S FSL=100m
(Assume data where required. Any approach used to design the structures is acceptable)

RUBRICS FOR ASSESSMENT WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
