Specially designed RCC slabs were fabricated and tested to line the watercourses in a trapezoidal shape.The RCC watercourse sections were found to be about 30% less expensive as compared to the watercourse section lined with brick masonry in rectangular shape using 23 cm thick wall. RCC watercourse lining technique is more preferable at places where good quality bricks are not available and are to be transported from long distances.
