Cleaning a drainage canal involves removing debris, sediment, and any buildup that could impede water flow. The process typically starts with a visual inspection to identify areas with accumulated debris or signs of blockages. Depending on the size and condition of the canal, tools like rakes, shovels, or heavy machinery such as excavators or dredgers may be used to remove large debris and sediment.
In some cases, the canal may need to be flushed with water to help clear smaller particles or organic matter. If the canal has a liner, care must be taken to avoid damaging it during the cleaning process. Regular cleaning helps maintain proper water flow, prevents clogging, and reduces the risk of erosion or vegetation growth that could damage the canal or its liner.
