Bligh's Creep Theory for Hydraulic Structures

Author: Haseeb Jamal / Date: Mar 28, 2017 / Tags: Notes, Theories
Bligh's Creep Theory: Design of impervious floor for sub surface flow: It is directly depended on the possibilities of percolation in porous soil on which the floor (apron) is built. Water from upstream percolates and creeps (or travel) slowly through weir base and the subsoil below it. The head lost by the creeping water is proportional to the distance it travels (creep length) along the base of the

What is Canal Head Regulators and Types of Canal Head Regulators

Structure at the head of canal taking off from a reservoir may consist of number of spans separated by piers and operated by gates. Regulators are normally aligned at 90° to the weir. Up to 10" are considered preferable for smooth entry into canal. The functions of canal head regulator are: To admit water into the off taking canal. To regulate the supplies into the canal.

Khosla's Theory of Hydraulic Structures

Author: Haseeb Jamal / Date: Mar 27, 2017 / Tags: Notes, Theories
After studying a lot of dam failure constructed based on Bligh’s theory, Khosla came out with the following: Following are some of the main points from Khosla's Theory. From observation of Siphons designed on Bligh's theory, by actual measurement of pressure, with the help of pipes inserted in the floor of two of the siphons? Does not show any relationship with

Introduction & History of Irrigation Engineering

Author: Haseeb Jamal / Date: Mar 27, 2017 / Tags: Notes, Irrigation Engineering, Shallow
Irrigation is the controlled application of water to croplands. Its primary objective is to create an optimal soil moisture regime for maximizing crop production and quality while at the same time minimizing the environmental degradation inherent in irrigation of agricultural lands. Irrigation is thus critical for food security in semi-arid and arid areas. Irrigation has two
