Transmissibility is more easily defined as the per- cent of vibrational energy that is being transmitted through a structure. Equation 2.0 Figure 2.0 Rogers’ BISCO® L3-2540 ma- terial transmissibility curve. Information such as natural frequency, damping ratio, and isolation efficiency can be extracted from this curve.

In most contexts, transmissibility is related to permeability. In medicine, transmissibility is a synonym for basic reproduction number and refers to transmission.

Abstract The unit of permeability is Darcy, md, or unit of area. The symbol used to represent it is k, and the symbol K is used to represent mobility. In these books the term hydraulic permeability or coefficient of permeability is used to refer to mobility.

saturated flow The movement of water through a soil that is temporarily saturated. Most of the loosely held water moves downward, and some moves more slowly laterally.

Gravitational water refers to the amount of water held by the soil between saturation and. field capacity. Soil water content after the soil has been saturated and allowed to drain freely for 24 to 48 hours. Free drainage occurs because of the force of gravity pulling on the water.

What are the types of water flow in the soil? Explanation: The flow of water through soils may be either a laminar flow or turbulent flow. 2. Explanation: According to Darcy’s law, the rate of flow or discharge per unit area is proportional to the hydraulic gradient.

The hydraulic head is measured by determination of the vertical position of the water table in a well relative to a reference surface. Darcy’s law says that the discharge rate q is proportional to the gradient in hydrauolic head and the hydraulic conductivity (q = Q/A = -K*dh/dl).

Explanation: The linear dependency between velocity of flow and hydraulic gradient is valid only for laminar conditions in the soil. Explanation: The Darcy’s law is valid if flow through soils is laminar. The flow will be laminar only if the Reynolds number is less than one.

The time interval between such consecutive watering is called as “Frequency of irrigation” or “Rotation period”. Every time, the water depth required by the crop varies from 5 to 10cm which again varies with the type of crop. The rotation period can also vary in the range of 6 to 15 days depending on the type of crop.

Hence, duty is defined as the area irrigated per cumec of discharge running for base period B….Water Requirements of Crops.

The rate of evapotranspiration at any location on the Earth’s surface is controlled by several factors:

• Energy availability.
• The humidity gradient away from the surface.
• The wind speed immediately above the surface.
• Water availability.
• Physical attributes of the vegetation.
• [Stomatal resistance].
• Soil characteristics.

Ridge Canal

Shear stress (τo) is responsible for this movement of bedload along the bed if the channel, which is developed by the flowing water along the channel bed. This shear force is called drag force or tractive force.

The canal alignment in such cases is taken straight, off the ridge line for a very short length and then again it mounts the ridge. In this process saving in the length of the canal is accomplished as shown in Fig. 8.3.

What all are the factors affecting alignment of a canal

• Topography. the arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.
• Soil type. soil type usually refers to the different sizes of mineral particles in a particular sample.
• River meandering. A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river.

Based on alignment there are three canal types:

• Contour canal.
• Watershed canal.
• Side slope canal.

Side slope canals: In this type of alignment, the canal does not align with either the ridge or the contour, but is aligned to the contour. These canals run parallel to the natural drain similar to the contour canal, it also irrigates areas on one side only.

• Types of Regulation Works.
• Canal Falls.
• Distributory & Head Regulators.
• Cross Regulators.
• Canal Escapes.
• Canal Outlets.

SIDE SLOPE CANAL:  A side slope canal is that which is aligned at right angles to the contours; i.e. along the side slopes.  It is a canal which is aligned roughly at right angle to contours of the country but not on watershed or valley.

A towpath is a road or trail on the bank of a river, canal, or other inland waterway. The purpose of a towpath is to allow a land vehicle, beasts of burden, or a team of human pullers to tow a boat, often a barge.

Is the towpath a public right of way? Most towpaths are not public rights of way. Instead, the majority of our towpaths are ‘permissive paths’ as we allow members of the public to use them. Occasionally we need to close towpaths to carry out maintenance work.

Cut: noun. Boaters’ term for canals because they were literally cut out of the land. Cutting: noun. Where the canal has been dug out of, or through a hill, or higher land, there will be a cutting slope or wall rising above canal level.
