Subject:
basins,   etc   ; energy; irrigation canals;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Innumerable falls are to be provided in irrigation canals where ground slope exceeds the permissible bed slope of a canal. In the conventional method of design, fluming ratio is fixed arbitrarily irrespective of inflow Froude’s number. Long lengths of inlet and outlet transitions are provided to prevent flow separation. Transition and dissipation structures are kept separate resulting in high cost ...

Abstract:
... Nowadays most of the desilting basins constructed or proposed in hydro power projects are modified in shape to increase desilting efficiency and structural stability; can be lined or unlined depending upon geological conditions faced. The desilting basin is an arrangement having increased cross-sectional area to reduce velocity of flow to such an extent that sediment particles settle within it eff ...

Abstract:
... The Segura basin in south-eastern Spain is one of the most water-scarce regions in Europe. Its water economy has characteristics that constitute very favourable conditions for water market activity, and there are significant trading opportunities. However, the traded volumes have been rather small even though most of the water market activity in continental Spain is concentrated there. This paper ...

In reality, however, observing natural processes of a neck cutoff is very difficult. In this study, we artificially triggered neck cutoffs by excavating a 0.4 m (width) × 0.5 m (depth) ditch to connect the beginning and ending of two highly convoluted bends along a meandering trib ...
