Abstract

When any one of the alluvial canal parameters such as width, depth, slope or velocity is affected all other parameters are uniquely determined and independtly adjusted, thus creating a new canal regime. Many formulas of canal regime have been presented, the best well know regime equations are those given by Lacey (1929, 1930, 1953), Blench (1957, 1966) and Simons-Albertson (1963).
Deviations of the observed canal dimensions of some cohesive canals located in El-Fayoum governorate, the eastern region of Delta in addition to Damietta branch, from those given by Lacey, Blench, and Simons, et al. are investigated.
