    Canal falls are masonry structures constructed in canals to minimize silting and scouring where the ground surface is uneven and causes high kinetic energy in the water flow. They are necessary where the natural slope of the canal changes suddenly to control the flow. The main function of a canal fall is to dissipate the kinetic energy of the water flow through its descent down the structure. There are several types of canal falls including ogee, rapid, stepped, straight glacis, trapezoidal, montague, inglis/baffle and sarda.

    WHAT IS A CANAL FALL?

    We usually construct our canal on permissible slope but the ground surface is not
    even so by this when water flows it has a high kinetic energy which hits the ground
    surface results in silting and scouring. And to minimize this we usually construct
    a masonary structure named as fall.
    NECCESSITY
    The natural slope of canal is not uniform and it suddenly changes so the flow will
    can't be controlled in this case we have to construct a fall.
    FUNCTION
    It's main function is to dissipate the kinetic energy of flow.
    Types
    1. Ogee
    2. rapid
    3. stepped
    4. straight glacis
    5. trapezoidal
    6. montague
    7. inglis/baffle
    8. sarda
