07
Q.4 (a) Differentiate between alluvial and non-alluvial canal. 03
(b) Explain the term ?most economical cross sections in canal? 04
(c) A lined canal with manning?s n=0.012 is laid at a slop of 1:2000. It is
required to carry flow of 30 cumecs. The side slops of canals are laid at
1V:2H. What will be the uniform flow depth in canal? Assume a
triangular section with rounded circular bottom having radius equal to
depth of flow.

OR
Q.4 (a) Give necessity of lining in canal. 03
(b) Give the comparison between Kennedy?s and Lacey?s theory. 04
(c) A trapezoidal irrigation canal with side slop 1.5 H to 1 V is proposed to
be lined with bricks to reduce seepage losses. It is required to carry
discharge of 20 cub m per second of water. Find the wetted perimeter for
minimum amount of lining and required bed slope. The value of
Manning?s N is given as 0.015 and it is stipulated that average velocity
cannot exceed 1 m/sec.
