Abstract |
|
A landform consisting of flow of water is known as water channel. Canal is an example of artificial channel. Almost all the north Indian rivers flow through alluvial soil and therefore do carry certain amount of sediments. Silting and scouring is that processes in which sediments of water gets deposited in the bed and banks of channel. Silting and scouring is not desirable in water and must be avoided by proper design. Scouring lowers the full supply level and causes water loss and it may also cause of failure of foundation of irrigation structures. Therefore it is necessary to design such channel which does not carry silting or scouring. A stable channel is that which is free from silting and scouring. Kennedy’s silt theory gave a formula of such a critical velocity at which silting and scoring may be avoided. |
