• Abstract:
  Reclamation engineers and scientists through the years have developed canal structures for irrigation systems which can effectively perform their intended functions. This publication has been prepared to illustrate the application of canal structures having design discharge capacities up to 100 cubic feet per second. Several types of canal structures have been standardized for this capacity range and are presented herein. Structure sizes required to discharge these flows are relatively small; however, engineering principles used in their design are also applicable to canal structures of greater capacity. The need for this publication became apparent by the number of requests received, both foreign and domestic, during the past years. It is intended that this book provide the design engineer with a source of condensed information for use as a guide in efficiently designing small canal structures. The design engineer must realize, however, that sound engineering principles and judgment must be exercised in the selection and utilization of the structures, and that the use of design methods, procedures, and other information herein remains his responsibility.
