Better Water Management

As the canal was designed as unlined, it is proposed to improve the structural components of canal sections as designed by cutting,filling and providing CC lining to canal system to reduce the seepage losses and to improve the system efficiency. As stated above, in order to get the required discharge in distributaries and minors and outlets, it is proposed to repair the structures to arrest the leakages by deep pointy grouting and other measures wherever necessary. It is also proposed to repair the controlling arrangements such as head sluices, cross regulator gates, scour sluice gates and pipe outlet to avoid leakages.
