	“Canals are constructed channels of widely varying capacities used to convey water for [[irrigation]], power, domestic uses, or drainage. Distributory channels conveying water from the main canal to farm units are called laterals and sublaterals. The design capacity of an irrigation canal or lateral is based on maximum daily consumptive use rate downstream of the section under consideration, including allowance for seepage losses. Water loss from seepage is a major problem in canal design. On a typical irrigation project, [[about]] 20 to 40 percent of water diverted into the canals and laterals can be expected to be lost be seepage unless [[lining]] is provided. Conversely, water seeping into a canal can (under favorable conditions) be used to augment the water supply. Also, inflow seepage is the means by which subsurface draining is accomplished for open-ditch drainage systems”.<ref name="EM1">[[Earth Manual Part 1, 3rd Edition \| Earth Manual Part 1, 3rd Edition, USBR, 1998]]</ref>		“Canals are constructed channels of widely varying capacities used to convey water for [[irrigation]], power, domestic uses, or drainage.
