REVIEW ON REDESIGN OF TRADITIONAL OPEN CANAL SYSTEM INTO CLOSED CONDUIT SYSTEM OF SHETPHAL MEDIUM CANAL PROJECT

Abstract

This paper deals with the water distribution methods of canal irrigation and their social implications. The availability of water of water resources is limited in space and time. It was also seen that the water is stolen by the people’s results in ineffective irrigation system. The Pipe Distribution Network system is one of the best possible alternatives to overcome the limitations of conventional gravity flow Canal Distribution Network system. But it was found that there is a loss of water due to evaporation, percolation and theft. It also includes study of different irrigation system like sprinkler, flow, drip irrigation and suggesting the system as per crop pattern and water requirement. This paper includes information about closed conduit canal system of water distribution. It includes advantages of pipe distribution network over the open canal water supply system.
