Open channel flow -- 3. Sediment properties -- 4. Design criteria for irrigation canals -- 5. Sediment transport concepts -- 6. Setric, a mathematical model for sediment transport in irrigation canals -- 7. The sediment transport model and its applications Summary Sediment transport in irrigation canals influences to a great extent the sustainability of an irrigation system. Unwanted erosion or deposition will not only increase maintenance costs, but may also lead to unfair, unreliable and unequitable distribution of irrigation water to the end users. Proper knowledge of the characteristics, including behaviour and transport of sediment will help to design irrigation systems, plan effi cient and reliable water delivery schedules, to have a controlled deposition of sediments, to estimate and arrange maintenance activities, etc. The main aim of these lecture notes is to present a detailed analysis and physical and mathematical descriptions of sediment transport in irrigation canals and to describe the mathematical model SETRIC that predicts the sediment transport, deposition and entrainment rate as function of time and place for various flow conditions and sediment inputs Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Sediment transport -- Mathematical models Irrigation canals and flumes.
