Protection methodology of irrigation structures against sand movement risk

The movement of sands in desert causes many problems for any kind of Engineering Structures, especially irrigation structures. The problems can be summarized to two major problems, which are Erosion and Sedimentation. For that, the major point in this paper is related to putting the methodology to protect irrigation structures against the risk of sand movement in desert. This methodology presenting the method, which the constructed engineer, must follow it to protect his structures against sand movement. In addition to that, the paper includes the mechanical, chemical and biological methods and techniques, which used to resist, sand movement, and the method of use of these techniques. In addition to some important notes needed at the construction of Irrigation structures in sandy desert regions.
