| description abstract | Procedures were developed and tested for quantifying seepage losses in unlined irrigation canals for reaches on the order of 100 ft (30 m). The procedure is appropriate for trapezoidal canal sections underlain by clay with a layer of more permeable material at depth. These conditions prevail throughout much of the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District (Central) canal system. The procedure uses electrical resistivity (ER) measurements while canals are in service to determine the resistivity of the underlying clay layer. ER data were correlated to canal depth and then to seepage rate. Seepage rates were determined using seepage meters. Field test sites showed seepage rates from 0.07 to 0.62 (ft | |
