Abstract

Irrigation has been practiced since the beginning of civilization. A canal is used to convey water from a source to a destination for irrigation, industrial, or domestic use. The canal must be capable of transporting water between the source and the destination in a reliable and cost-effective manner. A brief history of developments in canals is presented. An outline of all chapters and scope of the book are also reported in the chapter.
