Effect of canal slope and hydraulic conductivity of soil on seepage with Seep/w software

Agricultural development in Iran depends on the amount of water and knowledge of the seepage from canals is required. Although there are many empirical equations for estimating canal seepage, the coefficients of these equations are different from Iranian conditions and these equations vary in different areas. In this research, the ability of the Seep/w model was studied to estimate the seepage from an assumed canal. Variable parameters are normal depth in canal and hydraulic conductivity of soil. In addition, hydraulic gradient, uplift pressure and seepage velocity are investigated in canal. Results show that with decreasing in canal slope, seepage discharge linearly increased. Minimum hydraulic gradient and seepage velocity is in center line of canal. Increasing of hydraulic conductivity, causes to increase seepage discharge linearly.
