Design and analysis of a canal section for minimum water loss
Seepage and evaporation are the most serious forms of water loss in an irrigation canal network. Seepage loss depends on the channel geometry, while evaporation loss is proportional to the area of free surface. In this paper, a methodology to determine the optimal canal dimensions for a particular d...
