• Sometimes built
with other structure
DROPS
• Rectangular shaped
structure with inclined
concrete chute that
conveys water from
higher to lower part of
canal system
VERTICAL DROP
• A drop structure rectangular at middle, and wide at both ends
through which water falls vertically from higher to lower
portion of canal

concrete trough supported
in a bench excavated into
