The cost of constructing storage reservoirs in Cholistan was studied using a mathematical model. The variables studied were reservoir side slope and depth, seepage, evaporation and capacity of the reservoir. After computing the reservoir dimensions to store the required 15 140 m 3 , a full reservoir was assumed starting from 1 August of the year. The depth and quantity of water stored were then depleted by use, evaporation and...

This study was conducted to test the performance of a locally fabricated portable long‐throated flume. Flow was measured over a range of 5–70 l s −1 and sharp crested v‐notch weir was used as a reference device. The measured flow was compared with a theoretical rating table generated by WinFlume software for a flume of same specification. The results indicate a difference of −0.20 to +2.04% between the measured and theoretical...

This study was undertaken to investigate the impact of location on productivity of the farmers along an irrigation network in Pakistan. Data were collected from 54 tertiary canals situated along six secondary canals: two each at the head, middle and tail end of the main canal. Results revealed that location of the farms has a significant impact on farmers' productivity on different reaches along all the irrigation channels, i....
