(3225) Tapoon, or Ponding method
A method of measurement of seepage losses from canals when a selected canal section is segregated by dikes at each end. Seepage losses may be determined by measuring the inflow required to maintain the water level in the ponded section at a given level or by measuring volumetric loss from water surface area and rate of recession, due allowance being made for evaporation.
