are usually provided on both sides of the canals and should be able to contain the mean high water springs

A

secondary dikes

100
Q

101
Q

This starts from the main gate and usually traverses the central
portion of the fish farm.

This serves the portions where main canal cannot reach. It
starts from the main canal and traverses the inner portion of the fishpond. It is usually constructed in
