DESIGN OF HYDRAULIC SECTION OF ACHAMPET BRANCH CANAL

At Head Reach

Ayacut 90000

Discharge required including

20% towards transmission 36.000
losses

Total Discharge required Qr 36.000

Assume a section of :

1.5 S
1 D

BW
B/D ratio = 5.200
Bed width B= 13.00
FSD D= 2.50
Side slope s= 1.5
Value of n= 0.025
Bed slope S= 1 in 5000
Area of canal section A= ( B + sD )xD
A= 41.875
Wetted perimeter P= B+2 (sxs+1x1)xd
P= 22.014
R = A/p = 1.902
R2/3 = 1.536
Velocity v = 1/n*R2/3*S1/2 = 0.869
Designed Discharge Qd = AxV
Qd = 36.374
which is greater than discharge required hence OK
Critical Velocity V0 = mdn
where m=0.53 and n=0.52
V0 = 0.854
V/V0 = 1.02
