1 Pang, L. H.. 1978. Fiberglass-reinforced polyester flumes as tertiary channels in Malaysian irrigation development. In IRRI, Irrigation policy and management in Southeast Asia. Los Banos, Philippines: International Rice Research Institute. pp.39-44.

Fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP) flumes to carry water above ground have been recently been developed in Malaysia and are being introduced in some irrigation projects. FRP can be installed more quickly than conventional earth channels, thus precluding the loss of a crop season. They require less right-of-way acquisition, less maintenance, and save irrigation water. The agricultural and engineering benefits associated with FRP flumes more than compensate for their high capital construction costs.
