| Abstract |
In the last few decades, the main strategy of water savings in Egypt based on the irrigation improvement projects. The primary objective of irrigation improvement is to rationalize the use of every available drop of water, increase the irrigation system efficiency, organize the irrigation operations and among farmers. It is required to replace the traditional low-level Mesqas by small pumping stations followed by buried pipelines. Actually, this trend needs to redesign of the existing irrigation canals to fit the water requirements under the continuous irrigations system. The present thesis investigates the effect of the proposed irrigation system on flow field in El-Kanais canal. It is an earthen distributary canal located in El-Mahmoudia zone. This research uses two of the famous simulations models, including ISIS and SOBEK to simulate the flow field. The research focuses on the investigation of the abstraction patterns on the flow filed in the canal. The simulation models are validated using the designed water surface in the canal. The patterns representing the most probably cases that may happen during the irrigation process are investigated and the most critical one is detected. The results of the critical abstraction pattern indicated that the actual sections of the canal are not sufficient to carry the required discharges under the continues flow. Three scenarios are proposed to solve the water shortage problem in the canal and the optimum one is defined. |
