Abstract

Purpose of the research: to consider the influence of free porosity and water loss on the filtration of water from channels with an earthen bed. Explore existing calculation methods taking into account the parameters of free porosity and fluid loss. Collect calculation material that can form the basis of a program for calculating the filtration of channels with an earthen bed, taking into account the factors influencing the first and second stages of filtration in the channels. Materials and research methods: The work used theoretical methods for calculating filtration in channels with an earthen bed, presented the calculation of the loss of flow rate Qf for filtration per 1 km of length with a steady free surface for different types of channel cross-sections, considered the basic formulas proving that water supply changes with changes in transverse cross-section of the canal, the change in the stability of the canal slopes is shown, a test calculation of the canal for filtration strength according to the maximum pressure gradients is presented, the need to compare the excess of the critical filtration pressure gradient with the permissible pressure gradient is considered. Results and its discussion. The relationship between the total, capillary and minimum moisture capacity and water yield in the thickness of soils is presented, the dependence of free porosity on the groundwater level, and the change in water permeability of soils over time are considered. As a result of the research, material was collected on the influence of free porosity and water loss on the movement of water in soils and the influence on the increase in groundwater levels in the zone of influence of canals, a methodology was presented for the influence of free porosity and water loss on the processes occurring in the soils of irrigation canals in an earthen channel, which will allow its use for modeling these processes on a computer.
