b) Inlet and Outlet:

In the crossing of small drainage with small channel no hydraulic structure is

constructed. Simple openings are provided for the flow of water in their
respective directions. It is not necessary for the number of inlets and outlets to be
same. There may be one outlet for two or three inlets.
A canal inlet is constructed when the cross drainage flow is small and its water
may be absorbed into the canal without causing appreciable rise.
