SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS REMOVAL INLET STRUCTURE FOR CANAL PIPELINES

This technical paper discusses the operation of a nonmechanical pipeline sytem for removing sediment and debris from canal water. The system consists of an inlet structure, a sedimentation basin, and a screening structure--all of which are self operating and virtually maintenance free. The new underground pipelines replaced open-channel canals in the Duchesne River area of northeastern Utah. The pipelines have reduced the amount of water previously lost to canal seepage and inefficient flood irrigation. The pipeline technology is inexpensive to construct and has operated successfully for 4 years with no reports of damage from water-carried sediment or debris.
