Cross drainage works are hydraulic structures built where canals intersect natural streams or drainage in order to prevent mixing of canal and drainage waters. There are three main types of cross drainage works depending on the relative bed levels of the canal and drainage: 1) where the canal passes over the drainage (e.g. aqueduct or siphon aqueduct), 2) where the drainage passes over the canal (e.g. super passage or siphon super passage), and 3) where the canal and drainage intersect at the same level (e.g. level crossing or inlet and outlet). The appropriate type of structure is selected based on factors like relative bed levels, foundation conditions, cost, and hydraulic requirements.
This document discusses different types of irrigation canals and structures used to regulate water flow in canal networks. It describes:
1. The main types of canals - main canals, branch canals, distributaries, and water courses. Distributaries are further divided into major and minor types.
2. The primary structures used to regulate water flow - head regulators at the head of canals, cross regulators along canals, and outlets that deliver water to water courses from distributaries.
3. Additional structures like falls used to lower water levels across changes in ground elevation, escapes to discharge excess water, and tail escapes at canal ends.

There are three main modes of failure for earthen dams: hydraulic failure (40%), seepage failure (30%), and structural failure (30%). Hydraulic failures are caused by overtopping, erosion of the downstream toe, or erosion of the upstream or downstream face. Seepage failures occur through concentrated seepage paths that erode soil and cause piping. Structural failures happen due to shear slides in the embankment or foundation, or issues with construction and maintenance such as overly steep slopes. Earthquakes can also induce failures through cracking, overtopping, settlement, shear slides, or liquefaction.
This document discusses balancing depth in canal design, canal lining, and design principles for lined canals. It defines balancing depth as the depth where the amount of cut material equals the amount of fill material. It lists advantages of canal lining such as reducing seepage losses and maintenance costs. Design principles for lined canals include selecting economical cross-sectional shapes based on discharge and using side slopes of 1:1 or 1.25:1 that are stable for the soil. Input data includes discharge, roughness, slopes, and maximum velocity, and output data includes breadth and depth calculated using Manning's equation.

Gravity dams are structures designed so that their own weight resists external forces. Concrete is the preferred material. Forces acting on the dam include water pressure, uplift pressure, earthquake forces, silt pressure, wave pressure, and ice pressure. The dam's weight counters these forces. Dams are checked when full and empty, accounting for load combinations. Gravity dams can fail due to overturning, crushing, tension cracks, or sliding along foundation planes. Design aims to prevent failure from these modes.
1. Dams are constructed across rivers to store flowing water for uses like hydropower, irrigation, water supply, flood control, and navigation.
2. The key forces acting on a gravity dam include its self-weight, which provides stability, and water pressure from the reservoir, which acts to overturn the dam. Uplift, earthquake loads, silt pressure, and ice pressure are other important forces that must be estimated based on assumptions and available data.
3. The weight of the dam per unit length is calculated based on the cross-sectional area and unit weight of the concrete or masonry used. The total weight acts at the centroid of the cross-section and is the main stabil

This document provides information on diversion head works for canals. It defines diversion head works as structures constructed at the head of a canal to divert river water into the canal. The objectives are to raise the water level and regulate supply. Common structures include weirs and barrages. Weirs raise water level using a raised crest, while barrages use gates to pond water. Other components are under-sluices, divide walls, river training works, and canal head regulators which control water flow into the canal. Careful site selection considers factors like river characteristics, land use, and material availability.
The document discusses various methods for river training including constructing levees, guide banks, and spurs. Levees are embankments running parallel to rivers that are used to contain flood waters and protect areas from flooding. Guide banks are structures built to confine river flow within a reasonable waterway when constructing bridges or other works. Spurs are embankment structures built transverse to river flow to deflect currents away from banks and prevent erosion. The appropriate river training method depends on the river type, regime, and flow characteristics.
Diversion headworks are structures constructed across rivers to raise water levels and divert water into canals. They have several purposes, including increasing the commanded area, regulating water supply to canals, and controlling silt entry. There are two types - temporary and permanent. Key components include weirs/barrages, under sluices, divide walls, fish ladders, and head regulators. The optimal location depends on the river's characteristics, balancing factors like water availability, construction costs, and proximity to agricultural land.

It describes how weirs or barrages are constructed across perennial rivers to divert water into canals for irrigation and other uses. The key components include the weir/barrage, undersluices, divide wall, fish ladder, canal head regulator, and silt excluders. Together these components raise the river level, regulate water flow into canals, control silt entry, and allow for fish passage, while river training works guide the river flow safely around the diversion structure.
This document provides information on canal irrigation, including definitions, types of canals based on use and discharge, canal components like main canals and branch canals, canal shapes, lined and unlined canals, canal design theories by Kennedy and Lacey for unlined canals on alluvial soils, and comparisons between the two theories. It discusses parameters for canal design like critical velocity, silt factor, and presents equations for determining velocity, discharge, and slope in canal design.
The document describes the components and purposes of weirs and barrages. Weirs and barrages are solid structures built across rivers to raise water levels and divert water into canals. The main differences are that barrages use gates to regulate flow, while weirs use crest height. Barrages are more expensive than weirs. The structures are used to control water levels and flows, prevent flooding, divert water, and train rivers to reduce impacts on canal headworks. Key components include the main body, divide wall, under sluices, fish ladder, sheet piles, apron, and river training works.

Energy dissipaters are needed when water is released over a spillway to prevent scouring downstream. Various devices can be used, including baffle walls, deflectors, and staggered blocks, which reduce kinetic energy by converting it to turbulence and heat. Hydraulic jumps also dissipate energy by maintaining a high water level downstream. The type of dissipater used depends on the tailwater rating curve in relation to the jump height curve and the flow conditions. Stilling basins, sloping aprons, and roller buckets are suitable for different tailwater classifications.

Regulation works are structures constructed to regulate water flow in canals. The main types are head regulators, cross regulators, canal escapes, and canal outlets. Head regulators control water entry into off-taking channels from parent channels. Cross regulators are located downstream of off-takes and help control water levels and closures for repairs. Canal outlets connect distribution channels to field channels and supply water to irrigation fields at regulated discharges.
A water distribution system is a part of water supply network with components that carry potable water from a centralized treatment plant or wells to consumers to satisfy residential.

Presenation on Diversion Headworks irrigation.pptxqureshixahoor
1. A diversion headwork is a weir or barrage constructed across a river to divert water into a canal. It regulates water flow into the canal through a head regulator.
2. A barrage differs from a weir in that it uses large gates that can be opened and closed to directly control water levels, whereas a weir uses fixed crest heights.
3. The main purpose of a barrage is to stabilize river water levels for uses like irrigation while still allowing easy control over flow, unlike a dam which relies on water levels behind the full wall height.
This document provides an overview of hydraulic structures and their components. It defines a hydraulic structure as anything partially or fully submerged in water that disrupts natural flow. Weirs raise water levels while barrages can adjust levels using gates. Dams form deep reservoirs. Diversion structures include temporary barriers and permanent weirs/barrages. Key components are the weir/barrage, divide wall, fish ladder, approach channel, sluices, silt prevention, head regulator, and river training works like guide banks and spurs. The document describes the purpose and design of each component.

Diversion head works divert river water into canals and include components like weirs, barrages, undersluices, divide walls, fish ladders, head regulators, and silt prevention devices. Weirs and barrages raise the river's water level to divert it into canals. Undersluices and divide walls help control silt and water flow. Fish ladders allow fish to pass through. Head regulators control water entering canals while silt prevention devices like silt excluders and ejectors remove silt from the water and canal bed. Guide banks and marginal embankments also help direct water flow and prevent flooding.
The document discusses the types, location, and components of diversion head works. There are two types of diversion head works - temporary and permanent. Permanent diversion head works consist of structures like weirs or barrages built across rivers to raise water levels and divert water into canals.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?

Move Auth, Policy, and Resilience to the PlatformChristian Posta
Developer's time is the most crucial resource in an enterprise IT organization. Too much time is spent on undifferentiated heavy lifting and in the world of APIs and microservices much of that is spent on non-functional, cross-cutting networking requirements like security, observability, and resilience.
As organizations reconcile their DevOps practices into Platform Engineering, tools like Istio help alleviate developer pain. In this talk we dig into what that pain looks like, how much it costs, and how Istio has solved these concerns by examining three real-life use cases. As this space continues to emerge, and innovation has not slowed, we will also discuss the recently announced Istio sidecar-less mode which significantly reduces the hurdles to adopt Istio within Kubernetes or outside Kubernetes.

3. Introduction…
Any hydraulic structure which supplies water to the
off-taking canal is called a headwork.
Headwork may be divided into two
1. Storage headwork.
2. Diversion headwork.
4. Storage head works
Dam is constructed across a river valley to
form storage reservoir, known as storage head
works.
Water is supplied to the canal from this
reservoir through canal regulator.
These serves for multipurpose function like
hydro- electric power generation, flood control,
fishery.
5. Diversion head works
Weir or barrage is constructed across a
perennial river to raise water level and to divert
the water to canal, is known as diversion head
work.
Flow of water in the canal is controlled by
canal head regulator.
6. Objective of diversion head work
It raises the water level on its upstream side.
It regulates the supply of water into canals.
It controls the entry of silt into canals
It creates a small pond (not reservoir) on its
upstream and provides some pondage.
It helps in controlling the fluctuation of water
level in river during different seasons.
7. Site selection for diversion head work
1. The river section at the site should be narrow and
well-defined.
2. The river should have high, well-defined, in erodible and
non-submersible banks so that the cost of river training
works is minimum.
3. The canals taking off from the diversion head works
should be quite economical and Should have a large
commanded area.
4. There should be suitable arrangement for the diversion
of river during construction.
5. The site should be such that the weir (or barrage) can
be aligned at right angles to the direction of flow in the
river.
8. 6. There should be suitable locations for the under
sluices, head regulator and other components of
the diversion head works.
7. The diversion head works should not
submerge costly land and property on its
upstream.
8. Good foundation should be available atthe site.
9. The required materials of construction should be
available near the site.
10.The site should be easilyaccessible byroad or rail.
11. The overall cost of the project should be a
minimum.
9. Components of a diversion headwork
Weir or barrage
Undersluices
Divide wall

guide banks)
10.
11. Weir
Normally the water level of any perennial river is such
that it cannot be diverted to the irrigation canal.
The bed level of the canal may be higher than the
existing water level of the river.
In such cases weir is constructed across the river to
raise the water level.
Surplus water pass over the crest of weir.
Adjustable shutters are provided on the crest to raise
the water level to some required height.
12.
13. Barrage
When the water level on the up stream side of
the weir is required to be raised to different
levels at different time, barrage is constructed.
Barrage is an arrangement of adjustable gates
or shutters at different tires over the weir.
14.
15. Barrage Weir
Low set crest High set crest
Ponding is done by means of gates Ponding is done against the raised
crest or partly against crest and partly
by shutters
Gated over entire length Shutters in part length
Gates are of greater height Shutters are of smaller height, 2 m
Perfect control on river flow No control of river in low floods
High floods can be passed with
minimum afflux
Excessive afflux in high floods
Less silting upstream due to low set
crest
Raised crest causes silting upstream
Longer construction period Shorter construction period
Silt removal is done through under
sluices
No means for silt disposal
Costly structure Relatively cheaper structure
16. Under sluices
Also known as scouring sluices.
The under sluices are the openings provided
at the base of the weir or barrage.
These openings are provided with adjustable
gates. Normally, the gates are kept closed.
The suspended silt goes on depositing in front
of the canal head regulator.
17. When the silt deposition becomes appreciable
the gates are opened and the deposited silt is
loosened with an agitator mounting on a boat.
The muddy water flows towards the
downstream through the scouring sluices.
The gates are then closed. But, at the period
of flood, the gates are kept opened.
18.
19. Divide wall
The divide wall is a long wall constructed at
right angles in the weir or barrage, it may be
constructed with stone masonry or cement
concrete.
On the upstream side, the wall is extended just
to cover the canal head regulator and on the
downstream side, it is extended up to the
launching apron.
20. The functions of the divide wall
To form a still water pocket in front of the canal head
so that the suspended silt can be settled down which
then later be cleaned through the scouring sluices from
time to time.
It controls the eddy current or cross current in front
of the canal head.
It provides a straight approach in front of the canal
head.
It resists the overturning effect on the weir or barrage
caused by the pressure of the impounding water.
21. Fish ladder
The fish ladder is provided just by the side of the
divide wall for the free movement of fishes.
Rivers are important source of fishes.
The tendency of fish is to move from upstream to
downstream in winters and from downstream to
upstream in monsoons.
This movement is essential for their survival.
Due to construction of weir or barrage, this
movement gets obstructed, and is detrimental to
the fishes.
22. In the fish ladder, the fable walls are constructed in
a zigzag manner so that the velocity of flow within
the ladder does not exceed 3 m/sec.
The width, length and height of the fish ladder
depend on the nature of the river and the type of
the weir or barrage.
23.
24. Canal head regulator
Astructure which is constructed at the head of
the canal to regulate flow of water is known as
canal head regulator.
It consists of a number of piers which divide
the total width of the canal into a number of
spans which are known as bays.
The piers consist of number tiers on which the
adjustable gates are placed.
25. The gates are operated form the top by suitable
mechanical device.
Aplatform is provided on the top of the piers
for the facility of operating the gates.
Again some piers are constructed on the down
stream side of the canal head to support the
roadway.
26. Functionsof CanalHead Regulator
It regulates the supply of water entering the
canal
It controls the entry of silt in the canal
It prevents the river-floods from entering the
canal
27.
28. Silt regulation works
The entry of silt into a canal, which takes off
from a head works, can be reduced by
constructed certain special works, called silt
control works.
These works may be classified into the
following two types:
(a) Silt Excluders
(b) Silt Ejectors
29. Silt Excluders
Silt excluders are those works which are
constructed on the bed of the river, upstream of
the head regulator.
The clearer water enters the head regulator
and silted water enters the silt excluder.
In this type of works, the silt is, therefore,,
removed from the water before in enters the
canal.
30. Silt Ejectors
Silt ejectors, also called silt extractors, are those
devices which extract the silt from the canal
water after the silted water has travelled a
certain distance in the off-take canal.
These works are, therefore, constructed on the
bed of the canal, and little distance downstream
from the head regulator.
31. River training works
River training works are required near the weir site in
order to ensure a smooth and an axial flow of water,
and thus, to prevent the river from outflanking the
works due to a change in its course.
The river trainingworks required on acanalheadwork
are:
(a) Guide banks
(b) Marginal bunds
(c) Spurs or groynes
32. Guide Bank
When a barrage is constructed across a river which
flows through the alluvial soil, the guide banks must
be constructed on both the approaches to protect the
structure from erosion.
Guide bank serves the following purposes:
It protects the barrage from the effect of scouring and
erosion.
It provides a straight approach towards the barrage.
It controls the tendency of changing the course of the
river.
It controls the velocity of flow near the structure.
33. Marginal Bunds
The marginal bunds are earthen embankments
which are constructed parallel to the river bank
on one or
both the banks according to the condition. The
top width is generally 3 m to 4 m. The side
slope on the
river side is generally 1.5: 1 and that on the
country side is 2:1.
34. The marginalbunds serve the following
purposes:
It prevents the flood water or storage water
from entering the surrounding area which may
be submerged or may be water logged.
It retains the flood water or storage water within
a specified section.
It protects the towns and villages from
devastation during the heavy flood.
It protects valuable agricultural lands.
