    CE - 458 Irrigation Engineering: Cross Drainage Works

    Uploaded by

    Hamza Abaid
    This document discusses two types of cross drainage works used for irrigation canals: aqueducts and siphon aqueducts. An aqueduct allows an irrigation canal to pass over a drainage channel when the canal bed is above the drainage's highest flood level, allowing drainage water to pass below. A siphon aqueduct also allows a canal to pass over drainage, but the drainage water cannot pass clearly below and instead flows under the canal through siphoned action.

    Irrigation Engineering
    LECTURE 12
    CROSS DRAINAGE WORKS
    Aqueduct and Siphon Aqueduct
    Aqueduct:
    The hydraulic structure in which irrigation canal is
    passing over the drainage is known as aqueduct. This
    structure is suitable when bed of canal is above the
    highest flood level of drainage. In this case, the
    drainage water passes clearly below the canal.
    Siphon Aqueduct
    The hydraulic structure in which irrigation canal is
    passing over the drainage, but the drainage water
    cannot pass clearly below the canal is known as siphon
    aqueduct. It flows under siphoned action. This
