    Chapter Four: Diversion Head Works

    Uploaded by

    yeshi janexo
    This document discusses the components and design of diversion head works, specifically weirs and barrages. It describes: 1. Diversion head works divert river water into canals and include weirs and barrages which provide continuous supply of silt-free water. 2. Weirs use a raised crest to pond water while barrages use gates to pond most water. 3. Key components of head works include the weir proper, under sluices to control silt and flow, a divide wall, river training works, fish ladders, head regulators to control canal inflow, and gates/shutters to regulate flow over the crest.

    CHAPTER FOUR

    DIVERSION HEAD
    WORKS
    I. Introduction about diversion structures
    3.1 What is diversion head works ?
     The headwork can be either diversion headwork or storage
    headwork.
    Diversion head works are the work which are constructed at the head
    of the canal in order to divert the river water towards the offtaking
    canal.
    Diversion head works help continuous supply of silt free water with a
    certain minimum head into the canal.
    Storage headworks, besides fulfilling all the requirements of
    diversion headworks, store excess water when available and release it
    during periods when demand exceeds supplies.
    Weir, Cofferdams and barrage are famous example of diversion
    headwork.
    3.2 Weir and barrage
    The ponding of water can be achieved either only by a permanent
    pucca raised crest across the river or by a raised crest gates or
    shutters.
    If the major part or the entire ponding of water is achieved by a
    raised crest and a small part or nil part is achieved by the shutters
    then this barrier is known as a weir.
    If most of the ponding is done by gates and a smaller or nil part of it
    is done by the raised crest then the barrier is known as a Barrage.
    3.3 DIFFERENT UNITS OF HEADWORKS
    1. Weir proper (Wing walls)
    2. Under sluices
    3. Divide wall
    4. River Training Work
    5. Fish ladder-
    6. Canal Head Regulator
    7. shutters, gates
    8. Silt Regulation Works

    1. Weir proper (Wing walls)


    • Wing walls flanking the barrage and supporting the abutting earth bunds
    2. Under sluices
    preserve a clear and defined river channel approaching the canal regulator.
    scour silt deposited in front of canal regulator and control silt entry in the canal.
    facilitate working of weir crest shutters or gates. The flood can easily pass.
    To lower the highest flood level
    The discharge capacity of the undersluices is kept equal to the maximum of the
    values :
    (i) To ensure sufficient scouring capacity, the capacity of the undersluices
    should be at least twice the canal discharge. Qu = 2 (Qmax.)offtake
    (ii) To reduce the length of the weir, the undersluices should be capable of passing
    about 10 to 15 per cent of the maximum flood discharge at high floods.
    Qu = 15% (Qmax.)flood
    (iii) The undersluice should possess enough capacity to pass off low floods with the
    water surface in the reservoir at pond level so that the need of lowering the weir
    shutters (or raising the weir gates) does not arise
    3. Divide wall
    • The dividing wall is built at right angles to the axis of the weir, separating
    the weir and the undersluices
    • The downstream extension of the dividing wall provides a barrier between
    the stilling basin and scouring bay, in order to avoid cross-currents.
    • The dividing wall may also serve as one of the side walls of the fish
    ladders
    • It separates the under sluices from the weir proper.
    4. River Training Work- marginal bunds, guide banks, groynes, etc.
    5. Fish ladder- a structure which enables the fish to pass upstream.
    The slpoe of the fish ladder should not be steeper then 1:10 (i.e velocity
    not exceeding 2m/s in any portion of the fish-way)
    The compartments of bays of the pass must be such dimensions that the
    fish do not risk collision with the sides and upper ends of each bay when
    ascending.

    6. Canal Head Regulator


    Regulate the supply of water in the canal.
    Control the entry of silt in the canal.
    The head regulator is normally aligned between 90° - 110° in respect to the
    axis of the weir
    The regulation done by means of gates, steel gates and operated by electric
    winches.
    The maximum opening of the gate:
    Height of gates = pond level - crest level
    To calculate the discharge, the drowned weir formula can be used:
    7.Weirs ancillary works (shutters, gates)-flat sheet metal which regulate
    the flow over weir/barrage crest.
