Chapter 28.52 IRRIGATION/DRAINAGE STRUCTURES Sections: Introduction. Irrigation ditch crossings (cross-drainage structures). Inverted siphons. Overchutes (flumes and pipe overchutes). A large number of agricultural irrigation facilities exist in Mesa County, and many have historically intercepted runoff from rural and agricultural areas with little consequence.
However, the development (urbanization) of these areas results in storm runoff of much higher peak flows and larger total volumes. In addition, water quality of the runoff is often adversely impacted by this urbanization.
As a result, the traditional practice of utilizing irrigation ditches, drains, and reservoirs for stormwater control must be reexamined on a case-by-case basis. It is recommended that the designer/engineer, when faced with a specific irrigation/drainage structures interface, to review in detail GJMC through. Only after a thorough review and understanding of this chapter, and with coordination with the parties involved, shall the user proceed with the specific tasks that need to be performed. Further, the designer/engineer is cautioned to verify that damage to downstream properties will not occur by bypassing of storm runoff. 40-08 (§ 1301), 3-19-08) Irrigation ditch crossings (cross-drainage structures). It is common for a storm drainage system to encounter irrigation ditches, canals, or even conduits, especially in agricultural areas. Mesa County contains a large percentage of agricultural lands, thus the interaction of storm runoff systems and agricultural irrigation structures is common, especially for new developments.
Storm drains are often buried with sufficient cover to completely avoid an interaction with existing irrigation structures. However, it may occasionally be necessary to install storm drain pipe by boring or jacking to avoid disruption of the irrigation flow. Where the invert of a drainage channel is low enough in relation to the irrigation structure, it may be possible to utilize a standard culvert design for the crossing (see Chapter GJMC).
In locations where stormwater flow is in an open channel or relatively shallow pipe at an intersection with an irrigation structure, other options must be considered. In certain (rare) cases, it is allowable for stormwater flow to enter an irrigation canal and then be removed (see side-channel spillways in GJMC ) at another location.
Otherwise, stormwater flow shall be kept separate from irrigation conveyances as reasonably possible. Two methods for completing this task are presented in GJMC and: inverted siphons and overchutes. Overchutes include both flumes and pipe overchutes for the conveyance of stormwater over another channel. 40-08 (§ 1302), 3-19-08) Inverted siphons. An inverted siphon consists of a closed conduit used to convey water under an obstruction such as an irrigation structure or roadway where the use of a continuous-slope conduit would interfere with said obstruction. Sometimes called “sag pipes,” the conduit drops to an invert low enough to pass under the obstruction then rises to the channel invert at the downstream end.
This infers pressure pipe flow, with successful operation being dependent on sufficient head at the upstream end to overcome the rise as well as pipe losses in the siphon section. Transitions are recommended for the upstream and downstream ends of all siphons to reduce head losses and to prevent excessive erosion. Entrance head losses reduce the effective head on the inverted siphon, thereby requiring larger upstream depths to achieve the same flow through the conduit.
Concrete inlet and outlet transitions are required for siphons which: Cross railroads or State/federal highways. Are 36 inches in diameter or larger and cross a road. Are used with an unlined channel and the pipe velocity exceeds 3.5 feet per second. In locations where the siphon may be affected by groundwater flow, it may be necessary to include pipe collars to reduce piping effects. Cutoff walls may also be necessary depending on site conditions. It is recommended that the design of long inverted siphons include a blowoff structure at the low point of the alignment to allow for draining of the system (see GJMC ). These can be designed for operation by pumping or gravity draining.
Shorter siphons can usually be easily drained by pumping from either end of the structure. Pipe used for inverted siphons shall be pressure-rated as required per design, shall utilize rubber gaskets (may use other joint connection devices in addition), and shall comply with the applicable pipe selection criteria set forth in GJMC.
It is good design practice to include features in the design of an inverted siphon to minimize the risk of flooding due to the failure of the siphon to properly convey the channel flow. These features may include, but are not limited to: Increased freeboard in the upstream channel in the vicinity of the siphon.
The use of multiple barrels to allow for at least partial operation if one barrel fails. The installation of a wasteway (and associated side-channel spillway) to limit the depth of water in the upstream channel. Inverted siphons pose a significant risk to human and animal safety.
Specific features must be included in the design of these structures to help alleviate these risks. It is recommended that the location and safety features of any proposed inverted siphon be discussed with Mesa County and any local jurisdictions early in the design process. At some locations, a jurisdiction may disallow the use of these structures where they pose excessive or unwarranted risk to the public.
The design procedure for an inverted siphon is as follows (USBR 1974): Determine an initial system layout with all known elevations and lengths. Pipe slopes between the inlet/outlet transitions and the main section of the siphon are limited to a maximum slope of 2:1. All siphon pipes shall have a slope of at least 0.005. Determine the type of inlet and outlet structures required (transitions, headwalls, etc.). Determine the type of pipe to be used. This is typically pressure-rated reinforced concrete pipe. Select initial pipe size based on the table in Figure 28.52.030(a).
This is based on design flow, transitions used, and the subjective length of the siphon. Presented with the table are maximum permissible pipe velocities for different siphon lengths and transition types. Siphons are considered to be relatively short if they are crossing under a road or a canal. Only flows of up to 99 cfs are included in Figure 28.52.030(a) since it is typically more economical to consider a bridge at flows of 100 cfs or higher.
However, multiple barrels may be utilized to convey larger flows. Using the design flow rate and the properties of the initially selected pipe, determine the velocity head in the pipe (H vp) and the friction slope (S f). Using the normal depth in the upstream channel, find the velocity head (H v1).
Determine the additional freeboard required (FB add) for the 50 feet of channel upstream of the structure: (28.52-1) Invert elevations of the transitions are set to allow for an adequate hydraulic seal at the inlet (to minimize hydraulic loss) and to avoid submergence at the outlet. Due to the sloping pipe inlet, the effective diameter is larger than the pipe diameter: (28.52-2) Where: D 1 = Effective Inlet Diameter (feet) D = Siphon Pipe Diameter (feet) α = Slope of Inlet ( α 1) or Outlet ( α 2) Pipe (degrees) Required hydraulic seal is based on the difference in velocity heads between the upstream channel and the pipe: (28.52-3) Where: H seal = Hydraulic Seal Required at Inlet, Min. 0.25' (feet) H vp = Velocity Head in the Pipe (V 2/2g) (feet) H v1 = Velocity Head in the Upstream Channel (feet) Throughout the remainder of this process, the designer is referred to Figure 28.52.030(a) for the locations of Stations A through H and J. Note that the siphon in Figure 28.52.030(a) is crossing under a roadway. In this section, the focus is on irrigation canal crossings, so the cover requirements may differ from those in the figure. Siphons crossing under a channel with flexible lining shall have a minimum of 2.0 feet of cover, and those crossing under a canal with concrete or other nonflexible lining shall have a minimum cover of six inches.

Sound and durable; they must have roughly rectangular forms, and all irregular projections and feather edges must be hammered off. Their beds, especially, must be good for materials of that class, and present such even surfaces that, when lowering a stone on the level surface prepared to receive it, there can be no doubt that the mortar will fill all spaces. After the bed joints are thus secured, a moderate quantity of spawls can be used in the preparation of suitable surfaces for receiving..
Reduce it as much as has been done in the case of the Bear Valley and Zola dams, without adding metal reinforcement, though these have withstood securely the pressures brought against them. It might with safety be reduced under favorable conditions to the dimensions of the Sweetwater, or Shoshone dams, thus saving largely in the amount of material employed.
All of the more conservative writers, as Wegmann, Rankine, and Krantz, recommend that the design of the profile be made sufficiently strong.. To the removal and replacement of all the pipes.
The inlet pipes are shown in this example, as well as in Fig. 7, fixed at different heights in the valve-tower, the object of which is to draw the supply from the reservoir from points near the surface. The outlet pipe, passing through or under the embankment, may be connected on the inside of the reservoir by a flexible joint with another pipe of the same diameter, to the upper end of which is attached a float. This pipe is movable in a vertical..
Irrigation Canal Definition
Irrigation works may be divided into the above two great classes. Gravity works include all those by which the water is conducted to the land with the aid of gravity or natural flow. They include — 1. Perennial canals; 2. Periodical and intermittent canals; 3.
Inundation canals; 4. Storage works; 5. Artesian-water supplies; 6. Subsurface- or ground-water supplies. Lift irrigation includes those forms of irrigation in which the water does not reach the land by natural flow, but is transported to.. Dam, for the overflow, for the centre walls of the earth embankments, for most of the structures and appurtenances of the Dam, and wherever ordered by the Engineer.

Rubble stone masonry shall be made of sound, clean stone of suitable size, quality and shape for the work in hand, and presenting good beds for materials of that class. Especial care must be taken to have the beds and joints full of mortar, and no grouting or filling of joints after the stones are in place will be allowed. The work must.. It includes not only that portion of the rainfall which flows over the surface during storms, but also water which is derived from subsurface sources, as springs, etc. The runoff of a given catchment area may be expressed either as the number of second-feet of water flowing in the stream draining that area, or it may be expressed as the number of inches in depth of a sheet of water spread over the entire catchment. The latter expression indicates directly a percentage of rainfall in inches which..
