Question

What type of escape is preferred these days?

(a) Weir Type Escape

(b) Venturi Flume

(c) Regular Type Escape

(d) Tail Escape

This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

I'd like to ask this question from Types of Canal Escapes in division Regulation Modules and Canal Structure of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) Regular Type Escape

For explanation: In this type of escape the flow is controlled by gates and the sill of the escape is kept at bed level. These types of escape give better control and can be used for completely emptying the canal. Hence these types of escapes are preferred these days.
