Abstract
Canal architecture is nothing but a canal network laid over the irrigation command such that irrigation water supply can be made equitably throughout the command area. This chapter describes a detailed procedure, including the extent of investigation for laying down the canal system and alignment over the irrigation command. For enhancing the understanding of the canal system, this chapter provides insights into the classification of canals, based on their function, alignment, discharge capacity, etc., using figures. The practical application of the canal alignment process using the topographic surveyed data or toposheet is also included in the chapter through worked example.
