520 3 # |a This book, which contains 12 chapters, draws on the author's 38 years of practical experience on irrigation in the developing world, and puts some of the more esoteric mysteries of hydraulic engineering into simple terms that may be understood by those on the periphery of engineering but in the thick of management and operation and policy-making that remain integral parts of an irrigation scheme long after the engineers have gone away. The chapters are entitled: (1) evolution and a prelude to change; (2) elements of irrigation; (3) water management; (4) canal operation & automation; (5) irrigation water demands; (6) canal architecture; (7) canal control structures; (8) low-pressure pipelines; (9) canal lining; (10) canal hydraulic design; (11) troubleshooting - feedback from the field; and (12) costs and economics.
