Synopsis:

The hydraulics of flow in the irrigation and drainage channels is indeed complex for many reasons in natural conditions. Such channels are required to carry a certain specified discharge of water which is charged with sediment load of suspended and bed material. The boundaries of the channel are thus in a state of constant flux. Bed and banks, although initially flat surfaces, may soon be covered with ripples and dunes. These are in effect large elements of surface roughness having a strong influence on the overall channel friction. Stability of these channels is defined as a state of equilibrium such that the particles on the surface of such channels are in a critical condition of movement. A channel shape which ensures that the particles everywhere on the channel surface are subjected to a resultant boundary stress which equals the critical shear stress is a stable profile. When the capacity for transporting sediment of a channel is equal to the time rate of sediment supply at its he
