Canal Lining
• Conservation of water supplies is increasingly important as
the demand continues to increase and new sources of supply
are becoming increasingly scarce.
Brick lining
Brick lining
Advantages
• Reduction in seepage losses
• Improvement in command
Disadvantages
• Higher initial investment
• Repair is costly
– Clay tiles are very porous and are not much effective in
preventing seepage losses.
– Seepage losses may be very high if the stones are not laid
in mortar.
– Since the protective cover does not get properly attached with the
plastic sheet, sloughing and slipping of earth on the sides usually
take place. The minimum side slope recommended is 2:1.

Seepage Losses
• For Channels in Punjab (Eastern side):
– Qs=5 Q0.625
– Qa=0.0133 L Q 0.5625
– L is length in thousands feet, Qs is seepage loss
(cusec) per MSF of wetted parameter, Qa is losss
in cusecs, and Q is discharge in cusecs

Design of Lined Channel Section
• Using the Manning’s Equation:
Where:
Q = Full supply discharge in the channel
R = Hydraulic Radius = A/P
S = Channel Bed slope
n = Manning’s roughness coefficient
A = Area of cross-section
Design of Lined Channel Section
• Numerical Problem:
Design a lined channel section for the following set of data:
Q = 60 m3/sec
S = 1:5000
Side Slopes = 1H:1V
n = 0.013
If after few years ‘n’ value becomes n = 0.016 then comment on the
effects of this change in roughness on the canal section.
Solution:
As

R=A/P
Putting these values in equation (1)
and solving the equation
by trial and error method,
B = 16 m
D=2m
Numerical Problem
If n = 0.016
For the same channel width, depth of flow will be:
D = 2.21 m i.e. increase in the channel depth for the same full
supply discharge and the possible operational problems are:
