In this study, the effects of intake-pipe blockage and location of impervious boundaries on critical submergence of an intake pipe are presented. Experiments were conducted on a horizontal intake pipe sited in a dead-end canal flow. Theoretical results and available experimental data are compared. It is shown that, as the distance between the intake-pipe entrance and the dead end gets smaller than the critical submergence depth, the deviation between theoretical and experimental results increases. A potential flow solution still gives acceptable results when this distance is smaller than the critical submergence, but it overpredicts by about 80% when the distance between the intake-pipe entrance becomes much smaller than the critical submergence depth.
