Analysis of Conveyance Losses from Tertiary Irrigation Network

Irrigation canals are generally made through porous soil formations, since the is loose media – a huge amount of canal water lost to conveyance losses. The situation becomes direr when these losses result in non-beneficial Sindh province Pakistan has more than 70% saline groundwater, such areas not only become unusable but also creates management problems. Perhaps cost-effective way address lining. present study was conducted command area Belharo distributary, Sindh, with an aim determine extent from tertiary irrigated network as channels less considered literature regards Using balance method, efficiency and at 30% lined 50 75% unlined length watercourses observed. results revealed that irrigation face average 43% major proportion area. further suggests lining order minimize This infers use geo-membrane lining, sizeable fresh can be saved.
