model and to investigate the response of the bottom level in time and space
to determine water flows and sediment characteristics. Influences such as
the type and operation of flow control structures, geometrical character-
istics of the canals, water flow and the incoming sediment characteristics
on the deposition, which the mathematical model predicts, will contribute
to a better understanding of the sediment transport processes under the
flow conditions prevailing in a specific irrigation canal or network.
The model forms a sound basis to evaluate design alternatives for min-
imal sedimentation and erosion, to maintain a fair, adequate and reliable
water supply to the farmers, and to decide on the applicability of these
concepts for the simulation of the sediment transport processes under the
particular conditions of water flow and sediment inputs.
