The manning formula is used to size the irrigation canal or any hydraulic section. Water may be transmitted from the source to the field by unlined or lined canal, pipeline or combination. The Manning formula relates the transmission media (the cross section area and resistance to flow) to the flow characteristics ie volume Q.

What is lift irrigation?

Lift irrigation is a method of irrigation in which water is not transported by natural flow (as in gravity-fed canal systems) but is lifted with pumps or other means.


How Is canal irrigation different from drip irrigation?

Canal irrigation involves the use of large open channels or ditches to transport water from a source to agricultural fields, allowing gravity to distribute the water over a wide area. In contrast, drip irrigation delivers water directly to the roots of plants through a network of tubes and emitters, minimizing water wastage and evaporation. While canal irrigation can cover larger areas, it is less efficient in water usage compared to drip irrigation, which conserves water and reduces weed growth. Additionally, drip irrigation is often more suitable for high-value crops in water-scarce regions.


What A man made water way for navigation drainage or irrigation?

A man-made waterway designed for navigation, drainage, or irrigation is commonly referred to as a canal. Canals are constructed to facilitate the movement of boats and ships, manage water resources, and support agricultural activities by providing irrigation to fields. They can also help with flood control and improve drainage in certain areas. Examples include the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, which are primarily for navigation, as well as various irrigation canals used in agriculture.
