1. Introduction
1.1 General
Yakka Lalessa Small Irrigation Scheme was constructed in1974 E.C. West Arsi Zone
Negeelle Arsi Woreda. It serves about 160 Households. Since its construction major
maintenance has been made to the scheme.
Yeka Lalessa SSI project was conceived as part of an effort to guarantee and enhance food
security and improve the living standard of the farmers through a small-scale irrigation
development. The project is irrigates about 60 hectares of land by farmers managed small-
scale irrigation scheme.
1.2 Location
Yeka Lalessa upgrading irrigation project area is located in the West Arsi Administrative
Zone, Nagelle Arsi woreda at about 52 km distance North of Shashemene town, capital of the
zonal administration, and 12km from Nagelle Arsi town, the capital of Nagelle Arsi woreda.
The diversion site is located at
 Latitude-802439 (UTM) Northing
 Longitude-491511 (UTM ) Easting
 Altitude of about 2760 masl.
1.3 Accessibility
Access to the project area is possible from Nagelle Arsi (Nagelle Arsi woreda town) by using All
weather road connecting Nagelle Arsi to Goljota town, this road crosses the project area at about
12km from Nagelle Arsi town .And the weir axis is located at about 1km from this road in the south

direction. Hence, before commencement of Main Canal construction of access road of about 1km is
necessary to make the construction machinery, equipment and labor mobility easy.
1.4 The Objective of Upgrading of Yeka Lalessa SSI Project

The construction of Beta SSI Project works by using Huluqa river flow to develop the irrigable
area downstream of weir site. So that agricultural production will boost up by using
supplemental and full irrigation. Hence the vulnerability of agricultural production will be
reduced and more over farmers’ income will increases.
1.5 Previous Construction and Traditional Irrigation

There is no previous irrigation Scheme construction upstream and downstream of the
headwork site. Besides, there is no traditional irrigation practice in the project site. During
construction of previous time, the local farmers were cooperative to give information and also
involved in site construction of the headwork. The farmers in the project area are also are
very much interested to utilize the base flow for irrigation. Thus, they are supporting
upgrading the development of the irrigation scheme.

2. Scope of the Irrigation Infrastructure Design

The scope of design of irrigation infrastructures of Beta SS irrigation project comprises of, but
not limited to, the following important features:
 The Main Canal irrigation design shall ensure reliability, equity and flexibility of water
delivery to farmers. It will aim at reducing conflicts among water users and will lead to
lower operation and maintenance costs.
 Updating the existing, if available, computation of the actual evapo-transpiration, crop
water requirement, irrigation demand/duty using the existing and recent agronomic,
climatologic and soil data using more appropriate methodologies.
 Establish design criteria for irrigations structures to be approved by the client and to be
used in the final design stage,
 Design proper Main Canal irrigation system compatible with local conditions and
management capabilities,
 Establish flood protection measures for the command area and canal structures and
design the respective drainage system accordingly,
 Planning and layout of the irrigation system, which include irrigation canals, drainage
channels, inspection roads and alignments, canal spacing, canal length, location of
structures, and water profiles along canal and drains at specified reaches, which is most
economical, easily manageable and aligned with topographic feature and geological
investigation.
 Determination and estimation of water application conveyance and other losses and
irrigation efficiencies and consideration of those parameters in design steps.
 Check and test hydraulic and structural designs of main canal considering total demand
and the required capacity and the base flow availability,
 Prepare general plans and drawings for all irrigation infrastructure and irrigation systems
designs,
 Prepare comprehensive specifications and bill of quantities for irrigation scheme and
feasible construction schedule accordingly. The work items and construction schedules

will be presented to beneficiaries and other stakeholders so that it will be discussed

together.
3. Command Area
The boundary of a command area is dictated by the topographical features like natural
drainage, foot hills etc. The size depends on the proposed Full Supply Level (FSL) of the canal
at intake level. In Beta irrigation project, the command boundary is delineated between the
foot slopes of mountains on both right and left banks and Huluqa River. The proposed
potential command area of Beta irrigation project, was 70ha. However, due to the rugged
topographic feature of the land, the proposed size of area could not be obtained during actual
delineation of the command area after the detailed topographic map has been prepared. The
total area delineated during topographic surveying is 97.7ha, out of which only irrigable net
area of 36ha, but when the Right and Left of Earthen Main Canal upgraded to Lined, the
irrigable net area increase to 50ha could be obtained on both banks.
The right bank command area extends up to 3km length from the diversion weir. The
width of the area is in the order of 200m. The total area found to be irrigable is 35ha. There is
180m ideal main canal length to reach the irrigable area.
The left bank command extends up to 2km length form the diversion weir site. The
nature of topography of the area on this side is mainly disturbed with small rolling hills and
undulating feature. Hence, only a total of 15ha of area is found potentially irrigable.
The topographic feature of the command area is such that there is no drainage line crossing
the canals. Therefore, no cross drainage structures were proposed.

4. Canal Offtake Arrangement
4.1 Main canal offtake

The Beta SS Irrigation Project consists of diversion weir and canal systems. The main canals
are planned to offtake on both the right and left banks. The offtake of the right main canal is
located at 180m upstream of the command area. The offtake of the left main canal is located
on the same place but 474m upstream of the left bank command area.
4.2 Off take on primary and secondary canals

The feature of the command area is such that there are secondary canals in the irrigation
system. Tertiary canals are managed to off take directly from the Secondary canals to convey
to the field canals. Suitable structures - head regulator and stop log gate provided on primary
and tertiary canals for off taking channels. These structures are planned and designed
according to the standard practices. The tertiary canals are provided with masonry turnouts
to deliver flow to the field canals.

5. Layout of the Canal System

The canal system consists of the following components:
Nomenclature as prevalent
In Ethiopia........................................ ....................... International
Primary canal........................................... ................ Main Canal
Tertiary Canal.......................................... ................ Minor
Field Channel.......................................... ................. Field channel
The entire planning process for the layout of the canal system is a part of micro irrigation
system.
5.1 Scheme layout

The planning for the canal layout was prepared on the complete layout for micro irrigation
system from primary to field channels for the entire command area on topographic map with
scale 1:1000 and contour interval of 0.5 meter. Several alternatives were considered for the
conveyance and distribution system. The most promising and economical of these
alternatives were recommended for more details. The irrigation system comprises two major
components: the main canal and the on-farm distribution system.
The farm layout includes drainage system for the disposal of excess rainfall and irrigation
water from the command area. All the farm drain system is aligned and designed to drain to
the river through tertiary drains. In designing the drainage system each field block has been
provided with a field drain so as to collect excess irrigation water from each block. The
nature of the land topography is such that the field drains discharge directly in to the main
drain (Guracha river).
5.1.1 Water Abstraction

The source of water for the project is Huluqa River. Water abstraction is through gravity
system that possesses an intake structure situated at the coordinate of 491511E (UTM) and
802439N (UTM) with an average intake bed elevation of 2759 masl upstream. The

hydrology, hydro geologic condition of the stream is discussed in detail on the study and
design part of headwork.
The following photo shows the headwork of the scheme (Photo taken on 28/9/2022)
5.1.2 Conveyance System

The conveyance system consists of two Main canals off taking on the right and left banks of
the river, five tertiaries on the right and three tertiaries on the left. The right main canal starts
from water abstraction site on the right side and conveys water through a total length of
1.873 Km. the left main canal extends up to a total length of 1.232km.
Both the right and left main canals are aligned along contours and supply five and three
tertiary units respectively.
5.1.3. Distribution System

Tertiary canals, with their drainage systems, are designated as distribution system. The
Layout process of the distribution system has involved several steps and following
parameters.
First, starting from the field condition it has been taken:
 The possible furrow length is not to exceed 50m
 The location of headland structures in relation to the maximum ground level is the
unit of the provision of drainage.
 The irrigation is provided to rotation in the tertiary and field canals. Whereas main
canal and secondary canal flow is continues flow type in the irrigation hours a day;
Second, target application depths derived from an analysis of share of the diverted water with
respect to the area of the field unit and crop water requirement.
Third, with the above relation and with topographic reference Maximum water level in the
tertiary off take along tertiary canal has been determined.
Fourth, the crest level of the Tertiary off take has been determined based on the respective
width of water way. In addition the tertiary irrigation layout have been set mainly basing the
topographic and soil properties, crop characteristics, and compatibility of the system with the
farm operation. The detail design process finally set to the flow rates and their duration that
maximizes application efficiency. So it is proper the design of the tertiary irrigation system
is used out from the field condition.
The tertiary irrigation system derives the water from the main canal/secondary systems. It is
proposed for to be made earthen canal. Water level regulators, Check drops shall be applied at
tertiary based on field topography and check of the field canal. As principle Sliding stop log
are used for distribution to each field canal.
Consequently the most important issue in the layout process have been tertiary unit of the
distribution system. Tertiary canal normally receive water from Secondary canal. This canal is
aligned along the terrain ridges.
The following are important elements in the preparation of layout:
 Important topographical factors;
 Field slope and its uniformity
 Off take points and levels are the most in the design of secondary canals.
 Boundaries of the tertiary units are determined based on topographic features
particularly drainage channels

 Sizes of the canals are determined based on the requirement in the field unit
and share of water for respective areas planned to irrigate for each field unit
The hydraulic designs of the conveyance and distribution system are set for the following
functions.
 Conveying the flow in the canal,
 Water measurement,
 Distribution of water in the tertiary,
 Turning the flow in the tertiary canals on and off.
5.2. Canal System

The main canals are proposed for irrigation on both the right and left flanks of diversion weir.
After the survey of command area, the larger FSL of canal at outlet from weir is fixed at EL
2759.20m elevation. According to the FSL of canal and available contour map of command on
1:1,000 scale, the alignment of the canals has been tentatively finalized. After finalization of
alignment the total length and proposed command area for irrigation is worked out, details of
which are given in Table 1.1 below.
Table 1.1. Length and command area of canal system
Total length Gross command Net command area

Particulars of canal proposed(km) area(ha) ( ha)
Right Main Canal(MC-1) 1.873 51.30 35.00
Left Main Canal(MC-2) 1.232 31.00 15.00
The primary or main canals are contour canal types for the entire length. For distribution of
water to fields of cultivators network of distribution system is planned which consists of the
following:
i) Tertiary canals taking off from Secondary canals,
ii) Field canals taking off from Tertiary canals.

5.3. Land preparation

The main canal routes pas through non-rocky land future for the entier length. The geological
report of the study dentails that the nature of the soi lis firm to very stiff dark brown to
reddish brown sandy clayey silt to silty clayey sand of intermediate plasticity. The soil is
impervious that cause excess leakage. Hence lining and upgrading is required for such cannel
route. However, in the previous construction for safety of canal at the head reach, the
right and left main canals area proposed to be lined for lengths of 180m and 474m only
respectively.
Most of the command area is presently under cultivation and does not require bush clearing
operation.

6. Canal Capacity
6.1 General
The aim of this irrigation upgrading Design is the determination of the quantity of water
required for the growth of a plant, which serve as the basis for the design of irrigation canal
and structures. The determination of irrigation water requirement therefore need the study
and analysis of cropping pattern, estimation of crop water requirement, estimation of
effective rainfall and estimation of irrigation efficiency.
6.2. Climate
The project area is located an altitude of 2760ma.s.l which is classified as Dega agro climatic
classification. The mean maximum average annual temperature of the area is 19.874 0c and the
mean minimum average annual temperature of 7.25 0c, in which the highest mean maximum
temperature of 22.16 0C and a mean minimum temperature of 5.14 0C were recorded in
February and December months respectively.
The rain fall index showing the relative dryness or wetness of a month is known as rainfall
coefficient is considered for the project. Rainfall index is defined as the ratio of mean monthly
rainfall to rainfall module (one-twelfth of the annual total).
Rainfall coefficients and their indications:

 Less than 0.6 represent a dry month;
 Greater than 0.6 represent a rainy month;
 0.6 - 0.9 represent small rain;
 0.9 - 1.9 represent big rains with moderate concentration;
 2.0 - 2.9 represent big rains with high concentration.

RF Coefficient 0.50 0.39 1.40 1.49 1.25 1.22 1.14 1.40 1.53 1.19 0.27 0.29
Accordingly, the time spanning from March to October represent big rainfall with moderate
concentration. The rest of the moths are under the category of dry period. There are four dry
months from November to February with rainfall coefficient of less than 0.6. Hence, irrigation
by stream diversion is required if crop production is envisaged in the long period of October
to March.
6.3. Need for Irrigation

The population of the project area are totally dependent on rain fed agriculture where by the
rainfall is expected twice in a year. Along this line, the other concern is fast growing population
from year to year without noticeable increase in food production to satisfy the demands which
would ultimately endanger the food security of the area. The population of the project area is, in
general, not self-sufficient in food production. The irrigation facility for 52 hectares of land, if
provided, will improve the crops in quantity as well as in quality. Therefore, during the present
hardship of food shortage it is the more essential to bring more area under irrigation to increase
food production.
Moreover, the analysis and evaluation of the climatic data from utilized climatological station,
Kofele, show that there is significant moisture deficit in the months of October to March. This
shows that there would be a need for irrigation.

6.4. Irrigation efficiency

The determination of Irrigation water requirement should also account for losses of water
incurred during conveyance and application to the field. These losses are expressed as a
fraction of efficiencies. Based on the level of the technical and management capacity of the
farmers expected to be acquired in the future training the following irrigation efficiencies
have been considered for the scheme.
 Conveyance efficiency (Ec)………………………………………… 0.90
 Distribution Canal Efficiency (Eb)…………………………………. 0.80
 Application efficiency (Ea)………………………………………….. 0.70
 Overall irrigation efficiency (Ep) …………………………………. 0.50
6.5. Irrigation Water Requirement

Monthly irrigation water requirement was calculated using the mean monthly rainfall data of
goljota station and the proposed crop data. This calculated irrigation water requirement is the
basis for determination of system capacity. The maximum duty calculated for 12 hour daily
irrigation period is 1.10 l/sec/ha which is the bases for the design of system capacity. For
detail information, the irrigation agronomy report can be reffered.

7. Hydraulic Design of the Canal Section
7.1 General
Canals are designed to distribute water properly in the system that will make Beta irrigation
possible and efficient. The purpose of upgrading design of main and secondary canal lines is
to distribute water just as evenly from the intake to the Tertiary canals and further to the
command area. Drains are designed to dispose of the water from the field which may create
water logging in the field. Soil and crop characteristics represent basic quantities in the
compatibility of the canal hydraulic parameters. Diversion water and respective command
areas are important variables for designation of command statement and design of canal
Section.
For the design, discharge for the proposed irrigated area is first worked out with duty without
flexibility factor and then the discharge is calculated with flexibility factor for the canal for
which design is considered. The lined part of the canal is designed as rectangular section and
the unlined part as trapezoidal section.
The hydraulic design of all the canals has been done using Flow master software by Manning's
method.
Design of Earthen Secondary Canal (sample design)
Where:

Q= Design discharge, (m3/s),

n = Manning roughness coefficient,
S= Design bed slope (m/m),
R=Hydraulic radius (m),
A=Cross sectional area of flow (m2).
Data inputs
Q = design flow (m3/sec)
B/H= correction factor for turning the results by adjusting the computed b/d ratio.
S = Design bed slope (m/m)
z= Design side slope [for cut section] (m/m)
n= Design side slope [for fill section] (m/m)
N= Roughness coefficient (n)
B = Design bed width (m)
Out Puts
V = Average velocity (m/sec),
H = Water depth (m),
B/H = ratio b/n depth & width
T = Top width (m)
Design of Lined Main Canal (sample design)

Where:
Q= Design discharge (m3/s),
N = Manning roughness coefficient (n=0.018 for masonry),
S= Design bed slope (m/m),
R=Hydraulic radius (m),
A=Cross sectional area of flow=B*H.
B should be determined for best hydraulic rectangular section i.e. B=2*H and
Perimeter P=4H. Hence, R=H/2 for flow depth, H, of the canal.
7.1.1 Maximum Velocity and Roughness Coefficient

The main and tertiary canals are designed to withstand the maximum average velocities and
roughness. The canal system design follows the underneath recommended values.
Table 4: Recommended values of max velocity and roughness coefficient

Lining type Max velocity Roughness(n)
(m/s)
Clay 0.70 0.025
Masonry 1.2 0.018
The maximum velocities are determined based on the USBR design recommendations.
Maximum velocity is to be 0.70m/s and at worst condition and higher depth up to 0.80m/sec
and minimum velocity is taken up to 0.26m/s. The Manning’s coefficient in earthen channel
varies with the bed material. Canals lined with grass and sod is taken the value n = 0.03.
7.1.2 Canal cross-sections and Side slopes

Trapezoidal shaped canals are the most common practical and economic section in most
irrigation schemes and applied in this project as well. The side slopes of earthen canal are
made according to the geo - technique investigation findings, recommends 1:1side slopes.

7.1.3 Bed width / Depth ratio

For main and tertiary canal bed width/water depth (b/d) ratio are between 1 and 3 and
greater than one.
7.1.4. Canal Embankments

The embankment width gives services for mobilization of construction materials to the
construction of canal embankment and maintenance of the canal, provided that the canal is
fully in fill. In reaches where canal is partially fill and comfortable to construct without
mobilizing on the embankment; the embankment width is determined to remain the seepage
hydraulic gradient within the embankment section. The minimum embankment width used in
main canal and tertiary canals are 1.0 and 0.5 meters respectively.
7.1.5 Freeboard to embankment top

In the design of canals free board Lacey's formula is used, Fb = 0.2 + 0.235* Q 1/3
and
comparison is made with USBR recommendation. Freeboard for main and secondary canals is
varying from 0.2 to 0.5m. Freeboard in the tertiary canal is 0.2m.
7.2 Tertiary Canal

There are a eight tertiary canals in the canal network layout. In all cases the tertiary canals
(TCs) run along the countuor direction. The capacities of each TC were determined based on
the areas they serve using the duty of 1.44 l/sec/ha. The design discharges of TCs are such
that the bottom widths of all the tertiary canals have been kept 0.30m.
7.3 Field Canal

Field canals run perpendicular to the contour lines; this implies that it is necessary to
construct drop structures where it is required. The design discharge of the field canals is
similar to the tertiary canal corresponding to each field canals. The differences between field
and tertiary canal lays on the fact that, the field canals will supply to the plots whereas the
tertiary canals feed to a number of field canals. A farm block served by a field canal is bounded
by field canal and tertiary drain. Almost a design furrow length of 40-100 meters was

selected as the maximum feasible after examination of the ground slopes, soil types and
infiltration rate.
In Beta canal network there are twenty-seven field canals originating from the tertiary canals.
Field canals design capacity should be optimum so as to be managed by an individual farmer.
The capacity of field canals is designed to be equal to the capacity of the corresponding
tertiary canal. The capacity of the field canals in Bata canal system varies from 0.0029 to
0.011m3/sec. Apart from the discharge, velocity, and bed slope of the canal, all other design
criterion of the field canals and the corresponding tertiary are similar(side slope=1, bed
width, b=0.3m, Manning’s roughness coefficient , N= 0.025 and free board 0.2).
7.4 Drainage Canals

Field and secondary drains are provided within the system. In most cases the field drains are
aligned parallel to field canals and they directly collect drained water from field and dispose
to main drain.
8. Canal Structures
8.1 General
The introduction of modern irrigation scheme should strive for high efficiency of water
distribution and application on the farms. This can be achieved through provision of
appropriate irrigation structures in the system. The main types of structures required to
facilitate the distribution systems and included in Beta irrigation project are:
i) Division Boxes,
ii) Off takes,
iii) Road Culvert and
iv) Foot bridge.
They are designed as simply as possible to be operated by the farmers.The structures are
made of masonry and/or concrete. Hence the analysis has been made for sizing of appropriate
structures. A minimum 1.5m length of cemented stone pitching is provided as a protection at
the inlet and outlet of the division box structure.

8.2 Division Box

Division boxes are canal structures provided across a canal to bifurcate the incoming flow in a
regulated manner. In the project under consideration, division boxes have been planned to be
provided in the canal network wherever there is a need for distribution of flows between
canals. There are a total of six division boxes of different sizes in the Beta canal network
system. The division box, which is a rectangular type, consists of weirs, which will regulate
distribution of water between ongoing, and off taking flow. The weirs in a division box have
an equal height and discharge coefficient only the length of the weir will vary.
Hence, the proportion becomes.
Q1/ Q2 =L1/ L2
L1 =Q1*L2/Q2
The following broad crested weir formula has been adopted to calculate the length and the
height of the crest.
Q = 1.7*L*(Hcrt)3/2
Where:
Q = discharge (m3/sec)
L = Length of crest (m)
Hcrt = Water height on the crest
8.3 Off takes or turn-outs (plot intakes)

All off takes are found at the junctions of tertiary and field canals. Each plot intake will divert
the entire flow from tertiary canal to the field canal. At the end of each tertiary canal, there is
no plot intake since the discharge direct its path in to the field canal. So to avoid any damage
on the canal section, one meter protection work wall provided before and after the corner.
8.4 Road crossing and foot bridge
Whenever canal crosses existing roads, having communication links between two places a
crossing structure shall be provided. In Beta project there is one major road crossing the tow
right and left main canals. There are two footpaths existing in the command area. The two
footpaths cross the main canal and one of the foot paths cross the other canal elements in the

network. For both the road crossings and foot paths rectangular box culvert has been
proposed to be provided. The detail of these structures has been presented in the respective
drawing.

10. Conclusion and Recommendation

Yeka Lalessa SSI project is found in, West Arsi zone, Negelle Arsi woreda, keraru Kebele, some 12 km
south of the woreda town- Negelle Arsi .
The purpose of this irrigation construction is to assess the technical functionality rate of the
irrigation component and present the findings. The project is designed to irrigate 50ha of net area
both in dry and wet seasons (200% intensity). The maximum duty calculated for 10 hours daily
irrigation period is 1.32 l/sec/ha which is the bases for the design of system capacity. The total
command area actually obtained during detail surveying work was only 50ha against the proposed
area of 120ha. The following issues should be given due attention:
 Field canals and field drains are not to be implemented on the farm land. Only
turn outs are provided according to the preference of the consultant. The
farmers can take water directly from the off Takes on tertiary canals at their
convenient.
 The farmers can drain the field if there is any excess water using temporary
canals at their convenient even though this is the recommendation of the
consultant, the final decision will depend through discussion with the client.
 Field canal and field drain excavations are left for the beneficiaries. Therefore
costs due to these works are not considered in the bill of quantities.
Soil conservation works especially along the main canal route and good managed farming
practices are mandatory for sustainability of the scheme. As the farming people in Keraru
Kebele are not acquainted with irrigation practice, there may be unwise utilization of the
implemented irrigation scheme. The common exercises experienced in other areas are like

breaching canals at any place of their preference at the same time inefficient water
application method they are using, causing breaching of the delivery canal and allow the
water to flood the field.
