Open Channel Spillway
Open channel spillways are dam spillways that utilize the principles of open-channel flow to convey impounded water in order to prevent dam failure. They can function as principal spillways, emergency spillways, or both. They can be located on the dam itself or on a natural grade in the vicinity of the dam. Spillway types Chute spillway Chute spillways carry supercritical flow through the steep slope of an open channel. There are four main components of a chute spillway: The elements of a spillway are the inlet, the vertical curve section (ogee curve), the steep-sloped channel and the outlet. In order to avoid a hydraulic jump, the slope of the spillway must be steep enough for the flow to remain supercritical. Proper spillways help with flood control, prevent erosion at the ends of terraces, outlets, and waterways, reduce runoff over drainage ditch banks and are simple to construct. However, they can only be constructed at sites with natural drainage and moderate te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lift Irrigation
Periyar lift irrigation in Kerala.html" ;"title="Kadungallur, Kerala">Kadungallur, Kerala Lift irrigation is a method of irrigation in which water is not transported by natural flow, (as in gravity-fed canal) but is lifted with pumps or surge pools et Overview Lift irrigation schemes must accomplish two main tasks: first, to carry water by means of pumps or other way, from the water source to the main delivery chamber, which is situated at the top most point in the command area. Second. they must distribute this water to the field of the beneficiary farmers by means of a suitable and proper distribution. So that in Lift Irrigation system, the gravity flow of water by canals or river is not available or used. Distribution Of these two issues, distribution is the most complex, for several reasons. First, whereas the system for collecting water at the main delivery chamber makes use of pumps, the distribution system is typically completely gravity-based, and have to be des ...

Nalgonda
Nalgonda is a city and municipality in the Indian state of Telangana. It is the headquarters of the Nalgonda district, as well as the headquarters of the Nalgonda mandal in the Nalgonda revenue division. It is located about from the state capital Hyderabad.

The name was changed to "Nalgonda" for official uses during the rule of the later Nizam kings. History Paleolithic Age There is archaeological evidence that Paleolithic people lived in the area that is now Nalgonda, fashioning tools and weapons out of stone. Some of these implements have been found in the Nalgonda area, similar to those discovered at the Sloan archaeological site in Arkansas. Neolithic Age Traces of Neolithic culture were found at Chota Yelupu, where sling stones and other contemporary objects were excavated. Evidence of Megalithic culture was also found via the ...

Reservoir
A reservoir (; from French ''réservoir'' ) is an enlarged lake behind a dam. Such a dam may be either artificial, built to store fresh water or it may be a natural formation. Reservoirs can be created in a number of ways, including controlling a watercourse that drains an existing body of water, interrupting a watercourse to form an embayment within it, through excavation, or building any number of retaining walls or levees. In other contexts, "reservoirs" may refer to storage spaces for various fluids; they may hold liquids or gasses, including hydrocarbons. ''Tank reservoirs'' store these in ground-level, elevated, or buried tanks. Tank reservoirs for water are also called cisterns. Most underground reservoirs are used to store liquids, principally either water or petroleum. Types Dammed valleys Dammed reservoirs are artificial lakes created and controlled by a dam A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of surface water or underground streams ...

Srisailam Left Bank Canal
Alimineti Madhava Reddy Project earlier known as Srisailam Left Bank Canal is an irrigation project located in Nalgonda district in Telangana, India. History This Project has two following alternatives * Lift scheme from foreshore of Nagarjuna Sagar Reservoir: This scheme is completed by 2004 and 300,000 acres of land is under irrigation. * Gravity scheme from foreshore of Srisailam reservoir, through two tunnels: This alternative to eliminate water pumping was taken up in 2004 and was scheduled for completion in 2010 but was delayed inordinately. Project Water is fed from the Puttamgandi foreshore pump house located at in to the nearby Puttamgandi tank from Nagarjuna Sagar reservoir. The pump house has ultimate capacity of five pumps each of 600 cusecs pumping capacity. Water is supplied from the Puttamgandi tank by gravity to the entire irrigated area of the project via balancing reservoir called Akkampalli reservoir with 1.5 tmcft storage capacity.

Mahatma Gandhi Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme
Mahatma Gandhi Kalwakurthy lift irrigation scheme (MGKLIS) is a lift irrigation project on River Krishna located in Mahbubnagar district in the Indian state of Telangana. The lift canal starts from the backwaters of Srisailam Dam near Kollapur. The gravity driven, 100 kilometer-long canal provides cultivation for nearly in 300 villages located in constituencies of Kollapur, Wanaparthy, Nagarkurnool, Kalwakurthy, Jadcherla, and Achampet. History The foundation stone was laid in 1984. In 2014 the work started with a budget of ₹2100 crores. It was completed in October 2017, three decades later. ''Ayacut'' The original design for the project was 20 TMC water capacity, later increased to 40 TMC. This project provides water to the most drought-prone areas in Mahbubnagar. The water is sourced from Krishna river, by lifting water 300 meters above river level and channeling it into the reservoir. Achampet Branch Canal will be lengthened by 14 km, creating an additiona ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
