Download Solution PDFWatershed canal: The canal which is aligned along any natural watershed is called a watershed canal.
Contour canal: A contour canal is an artificially-dug navigable canal which closely follows the contour line of the land it traverses in order to avoid costly engineering works such as boring a tunnel through higher ground, building an embankment over lower ground, or constructing a canal lock (or series of locks) to change the level of the canal. Because of this, these canals are characterized by their meandering course.
Side slope canal: A side slope canal is that which is aligned at right angles to the contours i.e along the side slopes.
Branch canal: An offtakes from the main canal is known as branch canal.Last updated on May 28, 2025
