Irrigation schools
Historically there are four main schools of irrigation technology
• British • Dutch • French• American
![Page 4: 6.10 SHARC Software usage for Spate irrigation John Paul van der Ham](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072112/56649ebc5503460f94bc458f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
British school
From mid 19th century Sudan, Indian sub continent Large canals in morphologic unstable soils Low sediment load Long canals, proportional Regime theory developed (empirical, 1930’s Lacey)
NO variation in canal water flow!! Productive and protective systems Head-tail end problems
![Page 5: 6.10 SHARC Software usage for Spate irrigation John Paul van der Ham](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072112/56649ebc5503460f94bc458f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Dutch school
Indonesia, humid tropics Flashy floods in short rivers Main problem: stability of head works regime theory, refined by Vos and Vlugter who
found v times S should be constant or increase in d/s direction
Irrigation: water and fertile silt Development of the Romijn weir Drainage problem incorporated in distribution
structures

French school
Based on Po-plains traditional technology, further developed in North Africa (early 20th century)
Clean water (erosion ‘control’ and reservoirs) in water scarce areas
check on maximum canal velocities and lining of canals, detailed distribution according to crop requirements
Strict water distribution up to farm level Variation in water flow part of design Complicated technology Step-wise distributor, AVIO gates etc

USA (American) School
Clean water (erosion control and reservoirs) in water scarce areas
Reservoir irrigation Large farms; no tertiary unit Strict water ownership rules Canal design: check on maximum flow
conditions, prevent losses ( lining) Tractive force theory in canal design (shear
stress depending on slope and water depth)

Distribution methods
Continuous flow / proportional flow Rotational systems (on-off systems) On-demand systems
Protective / Productive irrigation concept.

Highlights of Spate Irrigation
Spate systems vary in size, layout, structures and management.
Management of floods requires direct irrigation. Combined with heavy sediment loads Uncertain water availability and unpredictable flood
discharges Spate irrigation requires a strong organisation and
management to take care of the operation and maintanance activities including the technical and financial aspects.

Introduction SHARC
SHARC is a suite of integrated programs designed to assist in the identification and solution of sediment problems at intakes in rivers and canal systems.
Developed to assist in design and rehabilitation of large systems…
Consists of 6 modules:-Problem diagnosis and initial options
-Preliminary Economic Screening
-Design Tools (4 design programs)
-Hydraulic Simulation
-Environmental Impact
-Economic Analysis
![Page 11: 6.10 SHARC Software usage for Spate irrigation John Paul van der Ham](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072112/56649ebc5503460f94bc458f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Components of SHARC
Problem diagnosis and initial options- Sediment control structures that are technically feasible can be
identified on the basis of the intake type and the possibility of hydraulic sediment flushing.
Preliminary Economic Screening- The preliminary economic screening module enables
preliminary estimates to be made of the allowable costs for sediment control structures, that provide a specified Internal Rate of Return (IRR). > (Savings and or increased irrigated area)
![Page 12: 6.10 SHARC Software usage for Spate irrigation John Paul van der Ham](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072112/56649ebc5503460f94bc458f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Components of SHARC Design Tools (4 design programs)- The Intake Model can be used to provide an indication of the impact
of modifying an existing conventional intake.- Three programs that are used to design of alluvial canals, (DORC),
sediment extractors (DACSE) and settling basins (DOSSBAS). - The methods in DORC enable canal designs to be matched to the
expected incoming sediment load through the use of one of the design philosophies (four schools).
- DOSSBAS is a suite of programs, which assists the design of sluiced or mechanically excavated settling basins. The program predicts the sediment concentrations and sizes passing a basin. It can be used to model still pond regulation at an intake.
- DACSSE provides a set of methods to aid the design of vortex tube and tunnel sediment extractors.

Components of SHARC
Hydraulic Simulation- Hydraulic simulation to investigate the impact of different
sediment management scenarios on sedimentation rates and water deliveries through canal networks.
Environmental Impact- Is intended to be used for project where environmental impacts
are to be identified by non-specialists.
Economic Analysis- Enables a cost-benefit analysis to be undertaken on potential
solutions identified using the other SHARC modules.

SHARC and Spate Irrigation
Adventage – SHARC gives possibilities to analyse and determine interventions to deal with sedimentation issues. - Gives range of interventions
- Can indicate cost and benefits
Word of caution – Also SHARC requires inputs, for spate these are commonly based on rough estimations since they are hard to measure and to predict.
![Page 15: 6.10 SHARC Software usage for Spate irrigation John Paul van der Ham](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072112/56649ebc5503460f94bc458f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DORC – DOSSBAS
The module Design Tools with DORC and DOSSBAS require not to many inputs and can support with canal design and settling basins.
2 evening workshops, one for DORC and one for DOSSBAS.

Recommend formula for spate canal design
no scouring – no silting” criteria – not for spate “Regime” design methods mostly for canals carrying low
sediment loads but Simons and Albertson method include equations for canals with sand beds and cohesive banks, carrying “heavy” sediment loads – have been used in spate systems
Rational methods provide the most logical method of designing canals to achieve a specified sediment transporting capacity. Chang, 1985 method provides predictions of slopes and bed widths that are similar to that observed in many spate systems.
![Page 17: 6.10 SHARC Software usage for Spate irrigation John Paul van der Ham](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072112/56649ebc5503460f94bc458f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Use canal surveys to aid design in modernised
schemes
Canal designs in modernised schemes are best based on the slopes and cross sections of (stable) existing canals. Design of enlarged, extended or new canals can then be derived using the Chang equation, with a judicious choice of input parameters to provide a good match with the slopes and cross sections observed in existing canals.
