N2  - Sedimentation causes problems in rivers degradation or  aggradation , c logging of drainage systems and canals depending on  the flow and sediment characteristics. In urban drainage systems ,  water which carries sediment particles as well as garbages of  various sizes, can cause blocking of canals. These drainage  systems designed to convey or dispose water have experienced  siltation and clogging. The drainage capacity i s reduced to a  considerable degree due to the deposition of such sediments. One  way of cleaning this canal is by releasing s urges which will  agitate the deposited sediment into suspension and carries it  into the downstream as bed load or suspended load.  Graphical relationships are developed in t his study to  relate the volume of sediment transport with the isolated surge  and sediment characteristics and the number of flushes. The  study is confined to the use of a single representative size of  sediment of 0 .81 mm diameter and specific dimensions of the  initial sand pile as well as a specified constant head in the  upstream reservoir. The study provides the basis for further  experiments and analysis to be carried out to d eve l op more  generalize d relationships and to verify the results with  laboratory and field data
