ABSTRACT
In order to assess sediment transport in the canals under study, water and sediment measurements were performed for almost one and half year from January 2007 to July 2008. Operation data of the main canal and secondary canals was collected from the Department of Irrigation, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for two years (four cropping seasons) from October 2006 to September 2008 to determine the water supply to the main canals and then water distribution to the secondary canals. These data sets provide complete information on the water and sediment balances in the canals under study during the study period.
