About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the principles of irrigation works through the detailed analysis of India’s extensive perennial canal system, one of the most prominent examples of irrigation engineering in the world. The author presents a comprehensive overview of the field, starting with elementary concepts such as barrage design and distributary alignments before advancing to more complex topics such as losses of water and duty of water. He also examines methodologies for reducing absorption, proposes improvements to irrigation systems, and highlights historically significant projects like the Punjab Triple Canal Project. Through its thorough exploration of the subject, this book serves as an invaluable guide for professionals in irrigation and water resource management, with insights that are applicable to irrigation projects of all scales and in all contexts.
