INTRODUCTION
Earth canals are considered as the most common conveying structure which is used to convey
water for irrigational purposes in Sri Lanka. These canals are laid along the contours and depending
on the filed requirement, incorporate drops to facilitate sudden elevation differences. Design of the
canals and drops should be done accordingly, to ensure a smooth functionality of the water supply
system that facilitates mainly the cultivation as well as the social requirement.
When water release over the spillway energy transmission is take place from potential energy
to kinetic energy. Because of this energy transmission there is high velocity head at the base of the
spillway. Excess energy must be dissipated in order to prevent the possible damages to the downstream.
To dissipate this energy, energy dissipators are used in canals. Converting excess velocity head to other
energies and loss due to eddies formation in the turbulent nature of water.
OBJECTIVES
The canal sections upstream and downstream should be designed as no-scouring non-siting
reaches.
There are two transitions in the in the to upstream and downstream of the structure to facilitate
the follow changing from trapezoidal section to rectangular section and vice versa.
Inlet and outlet transitions Minimize the energy loss where the cross sec-
tion is changed.
Sitting basin without baffles Hydraulic jump will occur here and energy will
dissipate

CONTINUITY EQUATION
A continuity equation in physics in an equation that describes the transport of some quantity. It is
also valid throughout the channel assuming the fluid is incompressible.
Q = AV
The channel sections upstream should be designed as no-scouring non-siting reaches. In case of free
board, the preliminary estimates could be made from,
F = (C.Y)1/2
where, C= 0.76
Y= Depth of flow (m)
The flow through the channel should be subcritical-critical velocity ratio for non-scouring and non-
silting is within 0.9-1.2.[V/Vc].
Vc = 0.55(d) 0.64
Transitions are used when the channel section is changed. This will minimize the energy loss facili-
tating smooth flow.

o Earthen canal
Conveyance of water for irrigation or other utilities is done through earthen canals, which flow
under gravity from the main source of supply to agricultural lands. In Earthen canals optimum or
low velocity of flow should be sustained to prevent the scouring and silting of downstream bed.
Therefore, the flow should be maintained under gentle gradients. (Shakir, n.d.).
At the same time, the side slopes have to be designed, in order to ensure its stability.
o Cutoff walls
Cutoff walls are provided to extend the seepage path. Therefore, the energy of water dissipates
when reaching the destination.
o Ogee spill
The nappe shaped profile of an ogee spill is an ideal profile since, the water flowing over the crest
of the spillway always remains in contact with the surface of the spillway at the design head.
Therefore, no negative pressure will develop on the spillway surface at design head.
o Baffles
Baffles dissipate much more energy of water through turbulence prior to the stilling basin. But
they may not ensure smooth flow at transitions.
2. Assumptions
o It was assumed that no energy loss throughout the flow until the stilling basin when using the
Bernoulli’s equation for calculations.
o The friction in the lining material used for the transitions and stilling basing was neglected.
o It was assumed that there was no dip height when calculating the water depth before the hy-
draulic jump.
o When selecting the datum for energy balance, the canal slope was neglected.
o Flow in the upstream was assumed as a steady uniform flow.
o The reduction of area in the section of piers was not accounted when using the momentum
equation.
3. Changes proposed for isolation of downstream section for maintenance while the up-
stream section is in operation.
o A controlling structure like a regulator can be used to isolate the downstream by al-
lowing water to be accumulated at a gate.
o Downstream entrance can be isolated by using a secant pile wall or a sheet wall. The
water path should be diverted away or around the canal temporarily since high water
pressures can be occurred due to the rising of clogged water.
o At the same time, a significant safety factor may be required by the barrier, in order to
accommodate high floods waves in a heavy rain fall.
Since the piers should be located to limit the bridge span to 12m or less,
Hence single pier will be located in the middle of the bridge span and it will not violate the
above theory.
Presence of piers creates some problems and these problems and remedies for them can be
listed as below.
• Scouring may be taking place at the piers and the occurrence of bed erosion – by providing
concrete apron or a protective layer which is made of stone around the piers, this effect can be
eliminated.
• Due to the location of piers, there occurs a head loss and this will result in backwater effect.
Hence the upstream water level will be increased, result in some flooding in upstream areas.
• Shape of the pier is an important parameter and though an elliptical pier would be better than
a circular shape pier, the construction cost of an elliptical pier may be very high. Hence using
circular piers with appropriate rip-rap protection at the base is recommended.
5. Safety considerations of the design

Shallow slope 1

Steep slope
• At the base, a proper rip-rap protection should be provided to prevent scouring effect.
• Culvert and flow areas should be inspected for accumulations of woody or other de-
bris.
• To prevent the seepage and for the safety of the spillway, cutoff walls should be pro-
vided at the downstream and the upper stream.
• Wing walls should be introduced to withstand the water pressure and the regulations.
• Submerged jumps should be prevented at the downstream since these jumps may oc-
cur a significant hazard to the environment.
• The designed water level should be maintained to a proper level for the public require-
ments.
• Construction or modifications to the structure should comply with all applicable laws
and regulations.
