III – Navigation Structure

Structure that used to facilitate navigation


through Irrigation network in places of existing
another heading-up structure and called, Lock

Lock

WEIR

24
25
Lock

26
27
IV– Water Training Structures

They are not a structures but they are works


applied as a protection, precaution, maintenance
or rehabilitation works as Pitching, Lining and
Dikes

Lining at DS of pump station


28
Pitching at US of pump station

29
Dike : is an embankment dam used as a protection against
flooding, but it doesn’t wet all the year
