Water is the most important element of food production, and the easiest and most cost-
efficient way to transport it is through open-channel irrigation systems (OCIS). These types of …

Irrigation water conveyance relies heavily on canal networks because they transport the
water cheaply. However, water losses are high, which is a major concern in the face of …

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 …

In the present study, different evolutionary methods, namely the bat algorithm (BA), particle
swarm optimization (PSO) and their hybrid (HBP), are employed for the design of trapezoidal …

Descriptions of the surface–groundwater interactions are required for enhanced water
resource management in the irrigation canals of the Kerian Scheme. The current study aims …

The correct estimation of conveyance water losses from an irrigation system is vital for the
proper management for the system. Seepage is the most dominant process by which water …

The significant role of open channels in agriculture include supplying drinking water,
industry, irrigation and flood control, making these hydraulic structures an integral part of the …

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 …

Seepage from unlined irrigation canals is a signi ficant source of groundwater recharge for
shallow aquifers in many parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions such as …

The water conveyance loss of irrigation canals shows significant spatial-temporal variability
both along the canal reach and over time. An accurate representation of these variances in …
