Hi Shiv, Greetings from ...

Hi Shiv, Greetings from Jaipur. The web link mentioned by you is giving error 404 - File or directory not found. I have read the guidelines issued by the CWC from time to time. They does not touch the design aspect. They only touch the estimating. I understand you have not gone through the attachment mentioned above. Please go through them. Also the CWC has not finalized the draft code for "design and construction of water courses " in more than ten years after its submission by me in WRD 13 as its member. In one meeting WRD 13 finalizes the draft, in next meeting it says amendments are necessary. It is working as a wooden horse. Similarly ten years back , I submitted basic amendments in IS 9451:1994 "Code of practice for lining of canals in expansive soils (second revision). But CWC, CSMRS and BIS did not did anything to finalize the amendments.This code is basically incorrect, arbitrary and against the basic principles of soil mechanics, which was approved by CWC and BIS, thanks to their knowledge. This has not been banned by CWC and BIS, although they accept now in December 2014 meeting of WRD 13 that this code is incorrect basically. It shows how the CWC is working and self praising. It seems CWC neither working satisfactorily nor it is willing to improve itself.
