“…The findings revealed that the canal, in its current operational and physical condition, was insufficient in adequately distributing the available water among all upstream and downstream consumers satisfactorily. The results indicated that implementing the proposed modifications would reduce the measure of inequality by 71.7 %, thereby leading to a more equitable enhancement in the overall efficiency of the canal [100]. Irrigation canals play a crucial role in providing moisture to plants.…”

Water losses in irrigation canals occur during the process of water transportation, with seepage loss being the main contributor to total water loss in irrigation conveyance. Cracks and settlement are the most problematic factors affecting canal lining structures, leading to reduced performance of irrigation canals due to issues such as sediment deposition, waterlogging, and leakage. Seepage losses typically range from 20 % - 30 %, but this can be reduced to 15 % - 20 % with the use of canal lining. However, the concrete lining structure, being a thin plate, is prone to high rates of cracking, which weakens the performance of canals. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance the flexure and splitting-tensile strengths of concrete to control the rate of cracking in the canal lining. The splitting-tensile strength of concrete is particularly important in crack control. Hybridization of fibers, such as combining polypropylene and jute fibers, can efficiently enhance flexural toughness, flexural strength, and fracture energy more than using a single type of fiber. The overall aim of this review is to summarize the literature on the use of modern materials to reduce water losses in concrete canal lining. Initially, hybrid fibers (one natural fiber and one artificial fiber) are selected to explain the behavior of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC). The crack arresting mechanism of HFRC can help reduce losses in concrete canal lining. The findings of this review will be valuable as a reference for both industry practitioners and academic researchers interested in the development of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete materials, particularly for canal lining applications.

“…Most of them, by considering the water resources available, have used a scenario planning approach in different networks. They have defined different water management scenarios to respond to water requirement variations and evaluated their performance in order to suggest appropriate scenarios (Afrasiabi et al, 2017; Khiabani et al, 2020; Monem et al, 2007; Seyed Hoshiyar et al, 2021). However, most irrigation networks are facing water shortages.…”

Irrigation networks suffer from conventional water management in water‐scarce conditions. Most previous studies have concentrated on water allocation, paying little attention to hydraulic drawbacks. In this study, four water distribution scenarios for managing scarce water conditions are defined and evaluated, with consideration of their hydraulic drawbacks. In the first scenario, the water shortage is evenly distributed among all outlets. In the second scenario, a kind of prioritization of the outlets is considered. A time division is considered for the other two scenarios. In the third scenario, one half of the outlets receive complete delivery, and the other receive reduced water in the first period and perform the same operation in reverse in the second period. In the fourth scenario, half of the outlets receive twice the amount of required water, while the other half is closed in the first period. In the second period, the water delivery is carried out in reverse. The effect of four scenarios in improving water distribution in 40% water scarcity conditions is such that scenarios 4, 3, 2 and 1 have the most positive effect, in that order. The results show that with increasing water scarcity, time division scenarios have a greater impact on performance improvement.

“…For example, Qi analyzed the impact of climate change on the carrying capacity of agricultural water resources by the crosswavelet method and the Pearson correlation analysis, and studied the impact of wheat, soybean and rice planting ratio on water resources [23]. Hoshiyar analyzed the water allocation in the northern irrigation areas of Iran and made recommendations to improve the overall performance of the canal [24]. Dai studied the effect of water allocation on the quality of agricultural water supply and the extent of canal water utilization in the People's Victory Canal Irrigation District (PVCID) in the lower Yellow River, China, and proposed a compensation scheme for the adverse effects of agricultural water transfer [25].…”

In order to systematically analyze the impacts of climate change and human activities on runoff, this paper takes the Zhanghe River Basin, which is greatly affected by human activities, as the research object, constructs an attribution analysis model of runoff changes based on historical data and the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. The results show that the runoff of the watershed has significantly decreased in the past 60 years, in which the contribution rate of climate change is 36.2% and that of human activities is 63.8%. Among the climate change factors, precipitation is the main contributing factor and canal diversion is the main contributing factor among human activities. In addition, with the decrease in precipitation during the flood season and the increase in the crop planting area in the catchment, the distribution of canal water diversion has also changed, and the water consumption of summer crops has gradually become the main factor affecting canal water diversion.
