This book was undertaken at a pivotal time in the region. The weak summer monsoon in
2009 created drought conditions throughout Pakistan. This followed an already tenuous …

This study numerically investigated the lining effect on the discharges and seepage losses
of five reaches which belong to the El‐Sont Canal, Asyut, Egypt, using FLOW‐3D and Slide2 …

Lined channels with trapezoidal, rectangular and triangular sections are the most common
manmade canals in practice. Since the construction cost plays a key role in water …

Sewerage involves the major portion of the cost of a wastewater system. In the design of a
sewerage system the sewer line is the basic unit occurring repeatedly in the design process …

Wastewater collection systems greatly contribute to the cost of the overall municipal
sewerage system; a cost-effective design of the collection system will provide significant …

The main goal of this study was to research the answer to two important questions in flow
modeling; i) how to optimally design the cross‐section of an open channel for a given flow …

The channel design problem can be treated as an optimization problem in which the
objective function is minimization of construction cost. In this definition, the optimum values …

Optimal design equations for a parabolic canal section are presented in this paper. The
design equations for a minimum earthwork cost section and a minimum cost lined section …

Open channels are one of the most used water conveyance systems for delivering water for
different purposes. Existing models for the design of open channels mainly assume uniform …

Les valeurs optimales des variables des sections (pente des côtés, largeur du fond, tirant
d'eau et rayon) pour des canalisations triangulaires, rectangulaires, trapézoïdales et …
