Abstract

Seepage and evaporation are the most serious forms of water losses in an irrigation canal network. Seepage loss depends on the channel geometry, whereas evaporation loss is proportional to the area of the free surface. The conservation of water is becoming increasingly important as the demand for this vital natural resource continues to rise rapidly and new sources of supply become scarcer. The importance of lining irrigation channels with the view to save these losses cannot be over emphasized. In this paper seepage rate for the Madhya Ganga canal phase-2 at Bijnor District of Uttar Pradesh, India is calculated by the empirical formula and USBR formula and is presented in this paper.
