Abstract

The present paper is based on the case study of Nilwande Left Bank Kopergaon Branch Canal (NLBKBC) of
Ahmednagar District, Maharashtra. The reach of this canal is 14 km which is running open to atmosphere. The main
objective of this paper is to use the closed circular conduits for entire 14 km reach of canal in place of traditional open
canal irrigation network to minimize conveyance and evaporation. Overall cost analysis shows greater saving of water,
modern distribution system and initial high investment can be overcome within few years therefore closed conduit
irrigation system can be thought for the implementation for optimally utilization of irrigation water
