ABSTRACT
A detailed discussion has been given on the use of sediment transport models in open channels in general and in irrigation canals in particular in Chapter 3. The one dimensional models like SOBEK (Deltares, 2009), MIKE 11 (Danish Hydraulic Institute, 2008), HECRAS (US Army Corps of Engineers, 2010), IALLUVIAL (Karim and Kennedy, 1982), Sediment and River Hydraulics-One Dimension (SRH-1D) Model (US Bureau of Reclamation, 2010), SEDICOUP (Belleudy and SOGREAH, 2000), FLUVIAL-12 (Howard, 1998; 2006) and HEC2SR (Simons et al., 1984) have been discussed there along with their applications.
