(i) constraints in carrying capacity of canal and low cost remedial measures,
(ii) maintaining water level in the channel using low cost structures such as
weirs, (iii) flow measurement using different devices and methods, (iv)
controlling discharge using appropriate regulators and outlets and (v) advances
in water control technology. Visits to the sites and/open channel hydraulics
