T Shetty projectsaketh17@gmail.com Pillai HOC College of Engineering and Technology, Rasayani, Maharashtra ABSTRACT Canals enhanced irrigation water losses and the annual cost of maintenance became uneconomical for the long term. Easy maintenance, durability, modification capability and flexibility of pipelines give them the potential to be an economical alternative to replace the Canals. Pipes were selected to construct a network of the pipeline due to the availability of Plastic Irrigation Pipes and Reinforced Concrete Pipes. This study has been undertaken to analyze canal system and to design a pipeline system to replace it. The study area is Khadka Irrigation Project, located on Mule river basin in Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra. The overall efficiency of pipeline system was found out to be much better than Open Canal System also the distribution efficiency by use of lift irrigation was found out to be boundless. Keywords: Enhanced water losses, Maintenance, Design of pipelines, Boundless distribution via Lift irrigation. 1. INTRODUCTION This Practice is about the replacement of district irrigation canal or lateral canals with a buried pipeline to convey water from the source to a form or irrigation turnout. District irrigation pipelines can be used to replace most types of small canals or lateral canals. The conveyance and the distribution efficiencies can be increased due to the installation of pipeline and the water use with illegal outlets can also be reduced by the pipeline system. However, in many cases, the replacement of open channels is done with pipes. The various reports noted the advantages of pipeline system over the open-channel system; this advantages can be summarized as follow:  Reduce losses of water from the system by seepage and leakage (transit losses)  Reduce time of water flow through the fields (travel time)  Increased equity od distribution  Reduce water logging
