This document discusses earthen channels, their advantages and disadvantages, and methods for improving earthen channels. Earthen channels are susceptible to erosion, seepage losses, and weed growth but have low initial costs. Lining channels with concrete, brick, stone, or other materials can reduce seepage, prevent erosion, and allow for higher water velocities. Underground pipelining eliminates losses from conveyance and evaporation but has higher initial costs than open channels. The document provides design guidelines for concrete channel lining, pre-cast concrete channels, and brick or stone masonry lining.

Irrigation Efficiency
Water conveyance Efficiency
It takes into account, conveyance or transit losses such as seepage through canal and evaporation through it.
η_c=W_f/W_r ×100
Where, Wf = water delivered to the field
Wr = water delivered from river or stream
Water Application Efficiency
It is the ratio of water stored in root zone to the water delivered to the field.
η_a=W_s/W_f ×100
Where, WS = water weight stored in root zone
WS = Wf – deep percolation – runoff
Wf = water delivered to the field
This efficiency is also called as farm efficiency and it depends on the irrigation technique that has been adopted.
Water use efficiency
It is the ratio of water used beneficially or consumptively to the water delivered to the field.
η_u=W_u/W_f ×100
Where, Wf = water delivered to the field
WU = consumptively used water
Water Storage Efficiency
This is the ratio of actual water stored in the root zone to the water needed to be stored to bring the moisture content upto field capacity.
Water Distribution efficiency
This evaluate the degree to which water is uniformly distributed to the root zone throughout the field area.
η_d=(1-y/d)×100
Where, d = average depth
y = Average numerical deviation in the depth of water stored from the average depth stored during irrigation
Question – the depths of penetration along the length of a border strip at points 30 m apart were proved. There observed values are 2 m, 1.9 m, 1.8 m, 1.6 m and 1.5 m. Compute the water distribution efficiency.
Solution –
Water distribution efficiency,
η_d=(1-y/d)×100
Where, d = average depth
d = (2+1.9+1.8+1.6+1.5)/5=1.76
And y = average numerical deviation
y = 1/5((2-1.76)+(1.9-1.76)+(1.8-1.76)+(1.76-1.6)+(1.76-1.5)=0.168
Therefore,
η_d=(1-0.168/1.76)×100
η_d=90.45%
Consumptive Use Efficiency
It is the ratio of water used consumptively to the net amount of water from the root zone.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

pipeline over Earthen channels
Contents
1. Earthen channels
2. Advantages and disadvantages of Earthen channel
3. lining the channels
4. Materials for channel lining
5. Underground pipeline
6. Key points
3. Earth channels should be built with stable side slopes and with
banks strong enough to carry the required flow of water safely.
Excessive velocity of water in earth channels causes erosion.
Very few natural materials will stand velocities in excess of 1.5 m
per second. Permissible velocities in earth channels are given
below:
1. Earthen channels
Type of soil Maximum velocity,
cm/s
Loamy sand 45
Sandy loam 60
Loam, silt loam and silt 75
Clay loam 90
Gravel soil and clay 100
4. Major disadvantage seepage losses
Sandy soils and fields infested with rodents and burrowing
animals
Central Water and Power Commission 71%
5. Channels without artificial lining of bed or sides are called earth
channels. The advantages of earth channels are:
(i) They are understood and accepted by the farmers
(ii) They can be built and maintained by unskilled persons
(iii) They require no special equipment or materials
2. Advantages and disadvantages of Earthen channel
6. The low initial cost constitutes the major advantage of earth
channels.
The disadvantages of earth channels are:
(a) Excessive seepage losses
(b) Low velocities due to retardance of flow by rough surfaces
(c) Susceptibility to erosion and therefore, relatively large cross-
sectional areas are required
(d) Danger of breaks due to erosion and burrowing animals
(e) Growth of aquatic weeds which reduce velocity
(f) High labour requirements for maintenance.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of Earthen channel
7. lining to the irrigation channels to serve the following purposes:
a) Reduces or eliminates water loss due to seepage
b) Prevents weed growth and increases the carrying capacity of
water
c) Provides safety against breaks
d) Prevents scouring of the channel
e) Reduces labour requirement for maintenance of the channel
f) Discharge increases due to reduction of roughness coefficient,
g) Reduced drainage problem
h) Being non-erodible, best hydraulic section can be designed.
3. lining the channels
8. If the cost of water production is not high and seepage loss is
not excessive in a location, the farmer may not go for lining.
Before going for lining, the following two important factors
should be taken into consideration:
(i) annual cost for lining and
(ii) (ii) annual cost of water saved.
9. 4. Materials for channel lining
concrete, stone or brick masonry, rock masonry, clay tiles, pre-cast
RCC sections, asphalt membrane, synthetic rubber membrane,
agri-film
Well mixed and well made cement concrete lining and also single
layer bricks or stones laid in cement or lime mortar provide
virtually water-proof channel lining
10. Cement Concrete lining
Steep side slopes of 1:1 or 3:4
compacted 15 cm layer.
The top width of the embankment 40 to 45 cm.
A freeboard of at least 5 cm
They should not normally exceed 1 to 1.
The thickness of concrete lining commonly used is 4-5 cm.
The concrete mixture recommended 1:3:4 (cement: sand:
gravel).
Intervals between joints should not be greater than 2 m.
12. Pre-cast concrete channels
Pre-cast concrete channels may be constructed with concrete
“half pipes”
Once the embankment is built and the channel excavated,
Low cost concrete channel sections can be made in a U- shaped
wooden form by tamping 1: 3: 4 (cement: sand: gravel)
The wooden form can be made by a local carpenter.
Hard wood boards 2.5 cm thick are used to make the form
The size of the irrigation stream
14. Brick or stone masonary lining
Single layer brick or tile or rubble stone
The bricks, tile or stones are laid flat
The mortar should have a cement sand ratio of 1:3
linings are recommended discharge is more than 30 lts/s.
15. 5. Underground pipeline water distribution system
Eliminates conveyance and evaporation losses
The efficient implements and machinery
Open channels often take 2 to 4% of the land area out of
cultivation
pipes operate under pressure, they can be laid uphill or downhill
The pipes are not clogged by vegetation and wind-blown
higher initial cost and not suitable under canal irrigation system
made reinforced concrete pipes and PVC pipes.
Small farms are non- reinforced concrete pipes.
