Economic Analysis Of Canal Lining

Canals are the major conveyance system of any irrigation project, which delivers the irrigation water to fields. Most of these canals are earthen so considerable water losses take place due to seepage. These losses can be overcome by lining the bed and sides of the canal cross-section with an impervious material. Lining of canal reduce the operation and maintenance cost, erosion and also improves the flow velocity. Different materials are available for lining the canal like concrete lining, mineral lining, brick lining, asphaltic lining, and geo membranes lining. However, in our country as per environmental condition mostly tile and cement concrete lining is popular. These type of lining have long life or effective in price and most satisfactory for all kind of locations. The main objective is to find out the most economical method of canal lining based on the cost criteria in relation to the wastages etc. Citation: Khyati V. Mistry, DGGEC, Surat, India; Dr. R. B.
