Full supply depth of canal 1.6m
Bed level of canal 260.00m
Side slope of canal 1.5:1(H:V)
High flood discharge of drainage 450 cumecs
High flood level of drainage 261.00m
Bed level of drainage 258.00m
General ground level 260.00m
Design the drainage water way, canal water way, find the bed level and FSL at four different levels of the
canal through, afflux and uplift.

 Design a vertical drop for the following data

Full supply discharge=20 cumes


u/s 215.4𝑚
Full supply level =
d/s 214.4𝑚

u/s 2.0𝑚
Full supply depth =
d/s 2.0𝑚

u/s 20𝑚
Bed width =
d/s 2𝑜𝑚

u/s 213.4𝑚
Bed level =
d/s 212.4𝑚

drop height= 1.0m

Design the floor based on Bligh’s theory taking creep coefficient =10.

Assume any data if necessary

 Floor length of 80m is provided and piles are provided Using khosla’s method of
independent variable determine the uplift at key points and thickness required at point A
which is at 20m distance from d/s pile and mid pile is at 30m from d/s pile.

Assume the floor thickness is 1m throughout the floor and 1m depth of water is always present
above point A. pressure correction for slope 1:6 is 2.5
 The annual rainfall is 200mm. find the spacing of sub surface drain if 2% of average annual
rainfall is to be drained in 2 days.

Depth of impervious stratum from the top of soil surface=12m

Position of drain is 2m below the top soil surface and the depth of highest position of water table below
the top soil surface=1.5, permeability K=1x 10-4 m/s.

 Design a surface drainage for a field of 40ha in terai with following data. Design maximum yearly
precipitation for three consecutive days is 500mm, longitudinal slope of channel is 1:4000,
mannings roughness coefficient of 0.025, maximum water level is 300mm may persist for up to
1day and excess for 200mm may persist for up to 3 days. Assume suitable value if necessary
(page 258, eg 9.1).

 A bridge is to be constructed across a river, having following hydraulic data:

Maximum discharge= 17000 cumecs

Highest flood level= 288.0 m


River bed level= 280.0 m

Average diameter of river bed material= 0.10mm

Find out the desired water way of the bridge. Design Bell’s guide bunds including launching apron and
also guide bank on either side to train the river. Big boulders area available in a hilly terrain nearby.

 Find the balancing depth of canal section having following data

Base width of canal B= 8m

Side slope in cutting Z= 1:1

Side slope in banking n=1.5:1

Top width of bank t=3m

Total height of canal= 3m

 If FC= 80%, PWP=35%, root depth=75cm, soil density=1.5 gm/cc, ETc=5mm/day, application
efficiency= 80% and RAM=50% of AMC, then calculate
I. Available moisture content
II. Readily available moisture content
III. Depth of irrigation at the outlet of field
IV. Irrigation interval

 The transplantation of rice usually takes 15 days and delta of water required is 60cmon the field.
Due to rain about 15cm demand is fulfilled. Taking 12% losses from distributary head to water
course head and 20% losses in water course compute
I. Duty of water at the head of water course
II. Duty of water at the head of distributaries
 A canal takes off from a reservoir. Data for irrigated crops are given below

crop Basse period Area under the crops Duty at the head of
days ha canal ha/cumecs
Rice(summer) 120 240 775
Wheat(winter) 130 180 900
Sugarcane(overlap) 300 125 650
Vegetables(summer) 90 60 1000
Vegetable(winter) 110 90 1200

I. Compute the discharge at the head of canal. Assume time factor as 0.7
II. Compute gross storage capacity of the reservoir. Assume losses due to absorption and
evaporation as 10%, carry over storage (due to irregular monsoon) as 7% and dead storage
as 10% of gross storage.

 A canal is to be designed to carry a design discharge of 50m3/s. the slope of canal is 1:1000 and

 An irrigation canal carries a discharge of 40m3/s and is laid on the slope of 1 in 2500. If the
CVR=1.2 and n=0.025, design the canal.
