A) Irrigation Engineering.
- Definition :-( Irrigation engineering is the branch or basic area of civil engineering which deals with the development of water sources and proper arrangement of distribution of water from the source developed.)
- Irrigation engineering is used for the purpose of cultivation of crop and for drinking and industrial use.
- The water source is developed by constructing a dam on a river or a stream to retain the water on one of its side.
- Ground water storage can also be developed by constructing the percolation tank.
B) Applications
O Irrigation Engineering.
:- Irrigation engineering
or we call it as water resources engineering helps to achieve the following
objectives :
- Development of water resource at the right place.
- It determines the capacity of reservoir.
- It ensures water supply during periods of less rainfall or during summer when water is not available in abundance.
- Crop rotation can be done effectively.
- It helps to study the flood control devices.
- It helps to study the design of different structures such as spillways , weirs and canals.
- Construction and maintenance of dams, canals and regulatory works for supply of water when ever it is needed either to fields or to the public.
- From the knowledge of Irrigation engineering, design and construction of different types of dams can be done.
