Comparative Study on Canal & Pipeline System in Irrigation Project

The project is a minor irrigation project situated on chandi river project in godawari basin, Ta.Nandgaon (khande) Dis. Amravati of Maharashtra. We have studied pipeline system minor at Kani mirzapur minor No.2. This project describes comparative study on the use of pipeline system & canal system. The canals inhanced irrigation water losses and the annual cost of maintenance became uneconomical for the long term. In pipes easy maintenance, durability, modification and flexibility give them term potential to be an economical alternative to replace the canal. Due to the availiblity of plastic Irrigation pipe and reinforced concrete pipes and their common use in irrigation, they were selected to construct network pipeline. The conveyance and the distribution efficiencies can be increased due to the installation of pipeline and the water use with illegal outlet can also be reduced by the pipeline system. However, in many cases the replacement of open channels is done with pipes. The various report noted the advantages of pipeline systems over open-channel system.
