What are the benefits of using drop structures in irrigation canals?
Lowering water velocity in irrigation canals reduces the risk of soil erosion and canal damage, which is the main advantage of drop structures.
They make it easier for water to flow downward under control, maintaining steady flow rates and effectively managing altitude changes. This intentional decline enhances water distribution efficiency while preserving the integrity of the canal.
Appropriately engineered drop structures can regulate varying flow rates, contributing to the long-term viability of the irrigation system.
Drop structures increase the overall durability of the irrigation infrastructure by reducing the likelihood of erosion and damage. This also reduces the need for maintenance. This ensures long lifespan and efficient water management.
