 ABSTRACT

Nagarjuna Sagar Right (Jowhar) Canal Command area spared 37 mandals in Guntur and 23 mandals in Prakasham districts.Hydraulic particulars of main and branch canal was collected from Water resources department, Lingamguntla circle and Ongole circle. The area irrigated under Nagarjuna Sagar Right Canal (Jawahar canal) is 4.75 lakh ha covering Guntur district with 2.84 lakh ha and Prakasam district with 1.91 lakh ha. The computed values at head, middle and tail section s of the main canal were 3.05 m/s, 0.85 m/s and 0.719 m/s and as per the design 3.048 m/s, 0.85 m/s and 0.814 m/s respectively. The variation in values is also not more than 11%. The computed values at head, middle and tail sections of the Addanki branch canal was 0.807 m/s, 0.782 m/s and 0.73 m/s and as per design 0.889 m/s, 0.87 m/s and 0.805 m/s respectively. The maximum variation is even not more than 10%. Darsi branch canal were 0.832 m/s, 0.802 m/s and 0.155 m/s and as per the design 0.82 m/s, 0.753 m/s and 0.135 m/s respectively. The maximum variation is even not more than 14%. Hence, the simulated discharges of flowpro2.1 software compared with designed discharges and velocities and there is no much variation in canal flow.

Keywords: NSPRCC, Hydraulic particulars, Flowpro, Water surface profile and Critical depth.
