  1.       Main canal The main canal takes off directly from a river or reservoir. It carries water in large amounts to feed the branch and distributaries canals. Due to conveying of very high discharge through the main canal it is not recommended to do direct irrigation from it. 2.       Branch Canal   The branch canal takes off from main canals at regular intervals. These canals supply water to major and minor distributor’s canals.   The discharge of the branch canal is generally over 5 m3 /sec. 3.       Major Distributary Canal   Major distributary canal takes off from the branch canal or in some cases from the main canal. They supply water to minor distributaries and field channels.   A canal is said to be major distributary when its discharge lies between 0.25 to 5 m3 /sec.     Minor Distributary Canal Minor distributary canal takes off from major distributaries and sometim...

"Multi-disciplinary collaboration with BIM" refers to the process of integrating and coordinating the work of different design disciplines, like architecture, structural engineering, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP), within a single Building Information Model (BIM) to facilitate seamless communication and collaboration between all project stakeholders, minimizing design conflicts and improving project efficiency throughout the construction lifecycle.  Key aspects of multi-disciplinary BIM collaboration: Centralized model: All disciplines create and access their design elements within a single 3D BIM model, allowing everyone to see the project holistically and identify potential clashes early on.  Clash detection: BIM software can automatically detect conflicts between different design elements from various disciplines, such as an HVAC duct intersecting a structural beam, enabling proactive issue resolution.  Improved communication: By working on a shared m...
