SOME INFLUENCES OF SOILS AND WATER TABLE DEPTHS ON SEEPAGE FROM LINED AND UNLINED CANALS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4729483
A computer program capable of solving problems relating to multldimensional, partially-saturated flow in heterogeneous soils has been briefly described and used to examine rates of seepage loss from canals. The losses based on a partially-saturated flow analysis were found to be considerably less than those predicted by the traditional saturated analysis. For the cases analyzed, the saturated analysis overestimated the seepage rates by as much as 32 times. Depth to the water table was shown to have an appreciable effect on seepage rate. Under partially saturated flow conditions the seepage rate was found to decrease significantly with increased water table depth. (auth)
