选择Jaalwala Distributary来查看混凝土衬砌对底层含盐地下水位的影响。 它的中部和尾部是混凝土衬里的,而头部仍是未衬里的。 使用Visual MODFLOW 2011.1以二维格式模拟混凝土衬砌对含盐地下水的影响。 仿真结果显示,电导率(EC)逐渐升高至7000μS/ cm,而地下水位深度下降至9英尺(2.74 m)。 它观察到由于以任何形式的渗漏方式形成的永久性屏障,从分流通过其西边界的流入量可忽略不计。 结果进一步预测,Jaalwala分水厂下方(在衬砌之前)可用的淡水层将最终完成,下面的咸水也将向上移动到该空置的地方。 因此,可以得出结论,将盐水区域的运河从它们的侧面排成一行,这不仅可以保护它们免受侵蚀,还可以防止运河水被盗。

Abstract
Jaalwala Distributary
was selected to see the consequences of concrete lining
on the underlying saline groundwater table. Its middle and tail portions were
concrete lined whereas the head portion was still
unlined. Visual MODFLOW
2011.1 was used to simulate the effects of concrete lining on saline groundw
a-
ter in two-
dimensional format. Simulation results showed a gradual rise of
electrical conductivity (EC) up
to 7000 µS/cm and decline in water table depth
to nine feet (2.74 m). It observed negligible in
flows from the distributary
through its western boundary due to formation of a permanent barrier in the
way of seepage of any kind. Results have f
urther predicted that freshwater
layer available beneath the Jaalwala Distributary (before its lining) will fi
nish
ultimately and the below present saline water also move upward to take this
vacated place. Hence it was
concluded to line the canals of saline water areas
from their sides which will not only protect them from erosion but canal w
a-
ter theft as well.

1. Introduction
Dependency of our lives on water cannot be overlooked. It not only exists on the
surface of the earth in so many forms but is also present below the lithosphere,
having linkages with each other [1]. Apart from natural activities, groundwater
was also restored artificially by surplus irrigation, seepage from man-built water

ways, and water applied intentionally to supplement it [2]. All the ancient em-
pires were established near or along some perpetual water sources [3]. The total
quantity of water on earth remains the same though it changes from one form to
another. It exists as liquid at room temperature, in gaseous state above its boiling
point and as solid in the form of snow, hail or ice subject to the temperature,
pressure and elevation of that place [4]. Good quality of water found on surface
or beneath this earth collectively constitute to the freshwater resources of this
planet [5].
Canals were human-made channels used for conveying water to irrigate fields
and gardens which navigate on a small or large scale. The history of excavation
of canals goes back to at least three thousand years as can be traced in the foot-
prints of Nineveh and Babul civilizations. Theory of flow of fluids was put for-
ward by Torricelli in 1643. It was the Kennedy who excavated a canal in the In-
do-Pak Subcontinent (in the late 19th century) which carried silt-ridden water in
it [6]. These canals were designed in such a way that the silt flowing in these
channels were unable to damage their sides, wear down their banks or clog them
by being dropped in their middle thus jeopardizing their operations [7].
In order to safeguard a canal against any physical damage streamline its gra-
dient offers resistance against infiltration and transport the allocated amount of
water to reach its ends. Canal lining has an addition advantage in strengthening
the banks of canals, checking the growth of weeds and algae in them and lessen-
ing the seepage losses that caused in the earthen channels [8]. Seepage of water
from the earthen structure of Bari Doab Canal in India was taken as an engi-
neering failure when it started operation in 1859. Many suggestions to curtail
this outflow from the earthen boundaries of this canal were put forward but the
most popular and feasible approach was to line this canal altogether with con-
crete. This was adopted as it minimized the incidents of breaches in the canal
structure and acquisition of additional valuable agricultural land was not in-
volved thereby a saving to the government exchequer [9] [10].
The main purpose behind lining of various main canals, distributaries and
minors in Pakistan is to reduce seepage losses from the initially excavated ear-
then canals along with improving their hydraulic performance, reduction in
their operation costs, stoppage of canal-water theft, and delivery of freshwater
right into the field of the farmers [11].
Materials used for lining the canals must be of sufficient strength and quality
to resist the pressure caused by the flowing water. It also prevents seepage from
canal sides and bed so that the hydraulic structure remains safeguarded [12].
Different materials like bricks, cement or concrete were used for lining the can-
als in Pakistan. These constituents have their own capacities: reduce the quantity
of seepage from their surfaces, decrease the eroding capacity of canal banks from
its water, minimize the chances of breach from the high discharged water, allow
minimal weeds growth along their sides and minimize the cost of their main-
tenance [6] (
Table 1).
The main source of recharge in the Indus Plain was infiltration from the upper

land surface where it is either permeable and has ruptures or flaws. After the de-
velopment of canal irrigation in this region the rate of percolation increased ma-
nifolds from these porous surfaces thus making the water come up within a few
feet from the land [13]. Apart from the acts of nature aquifers of the Indus Val-
ley River System (IVRS) were restored artificially by activities like surplus irriga-
tion, seepage from waterways and water applied intentionally to supplement
them [2] [14]. Seepage from unlined channels not only helps recharge the aqui-
fers of the Indus Valley but also was a source of clean and fresh water for all the
dwellers living along such waterways [15].
Before the excavation of canals in the IVRS water table of various aquifers was
quite deep that enjoyed a dynamic balance of inflows and outflows of percolated
water into them. This was disturbed with the addition of a constant source of
seeped fresh water from the earthen canals making the water of canal irrigated
areas rise at an average rate of 1.5 ft. per year thereby making these areas water-
logged by the late 1930 (
Table 1). When this standing water in the fields sub-
sided because of evaporation and less reclamation supplies from the canals the
land was left with a covered surface of accumulated salts. It was believed that
these salts came up to the ground surface along with the rising groundwater un-
til research during 1937 revealed that they were present in the soil which mixed
with the upcoming groundwater and were left on the ground with the subsi-
dence of this water [7].
Salts present in the shallow groundwater zones of the Indus plain moved to-
wards the surface and got deposited there because of high evaporation and less
rainfall. This process was augmented by poor drainage of freshwater which failed
to exert enough pressure from the upper side on this up scaling saline water and
stop its vertical movement towards the ground surface [16]. This rise of ground-
water in the saline water-logged areas not only harmed the quality of soil but al-
so diminished the quantity of yields with an additional disadvantage of damag-
ing the civil structures around it. Deposition of huge mounds of salts along the
water channels in the saline water areas are due to primary salinity whereas sec-
ondary salinity in an area is the outcome of inordinate agricultural practices
prevalent in the local population [17].

Canals in Pakistan were excavated as earthen (unlined) channels which not
only reduce the cost of these projects but have an additional benefit of recharg-
ing the groundwater with its freshwater outflows. In areas having freshwater
aquifers seepage from the flowing canals was accepted by the underlying aquifer
as such and they become part of it however in the saline water zones such seeped
freshwater from the earthen channels is not assimilated in these saline water
aquifers but remain above their upper surface as an independent entity. This
layers of seeped freshwater presses the saline water (
Table 1) downwards be-
cause of difference in their densities and hydrostatic pressure. This layer of
freshwater was not only used by the community for its domestic purposes but is
taken by animals and plants besides irrigating the farm fields. However, lining
these canals hinder the seepage and recharge of groundwater resulting either in
lowering of fresh water or rise of saline water from below. These results in dis-
turbance of water balance of that area forcing the farmers to use both canal and
underground water to cater for their needs [8] [14].
A lens of fresh water was formed below the running unlined canal and above
the underlying saline aquifer which has a distinct interface formed as a result of
variance in their gravities. The width of this freshwater layer formed below the
operational earthen canals decrease with their distance away from these channels
(
Table 1) in small oceanic islands where the thickness of fresh water layer float-
ing above the salty seawater decrease towards the coast [2] [14]
Like all other countries distribution of freshwater was not even in Pakistan. It
was surplus in some places while scanty at others. There was also plenty of water
available in some seasons whereas it is rare in others. The gap between demand
and supply of water as a result of rise in population was more than ten percent in
the beginning of this century (2000) which is likely to go up to three times by
2025 due to non-construction of new reservoirs and hence non-replenishment of
groundwater [4]. Per capita availability of water in 1951 was more than five
thousand cubic meters which has dwindled to thirteen hundred cubic meters
[18].
This groundwater study aims to develop a simulated flow model for the canal
command area (CCA) of Jaalwala Distributary located at Bahawalnagar, Pakis-
tan in a two-dimensional format. It will focus on the reasons behind shrinking
and completely diminishing of freshwater layer below the Jaalwala Distributary.
Details regarding rise of saline water to the natural surface level (NSL) and fluc-
tuations being taking place in the dimensions of the freshwater layer present be-
low the Jaalwala Distributary before and after its concrete lining.
In the following sections study area, methods and methodology, results with
conclusion will explained.
2. Study Area
In order to compare the pros and cons of concrete lining of canals in the saline-
water zone Jaalwala Distributary in district Bahawalnagar province of Punjab
Pakistan was selected. Bahawalnagar district (73.40345˚E, 29.97473˚N) was in

the Lower Indus Plain (LIP) which mainly dry and arid having very warm sum-
mers and cold winters with scanty rainfall. Jaalwala Distributary is an offshoot of
Eastern Sadiqia Canal originating from its RD: 219 + 500/R (reduce distance
number 219 plus 500 feet and 1 RD = 1000 ft). It has a length of 29 km with an
authorized full supply discharge of 112 Cusecs operating on perennial basis de-
pending on the availability of water. The total lined portion covers a length from
RD: 407 + 220 to 947 + 430 (tail) whereas the head reach from RD: 0 + 000 to
407 + 219 is still unlined (
Figure 1).
Total number of outlets (Mogas) in this distributary was 67 out of which 54
are located in the Jaalwala Distributary whereas the remaining 13 outlets are
present at Jaalwala Minor. Water coming out of these outlets of the distributary
goes into the watercourses owned by the agriculture department from where this
water is distributed to the fields. Some watercourses in the command of Jaalwala
Distributary were lined whereas the others are not. Major crops of the study area
were wheat and cotton which are grown in Rabiand Kharif seasons respectively.
Climate of the study area is arid and mean annual rainfall in the area remains
near to 119.4 mm while temperature varies from highest value of 52˚C during
