Cross drainage work is a structure that carries drainage water from a natural stream across a canal that intercepts the stream. It is constructed when a canal and a natural drain cross, preventing drain water from mixing with canal water. 

Cross drainage work is important for irrigation engineering because it:
Maintains water flow
Prevents water from mixing in the canal and drainage systems
Ensures that water bodies do not disrupt the functionality and structural integrity of roads, railways, and other vital infrastructure 

There are three types of cross drainage works:
Canal passing over drainage
Drainage over canal
Drainage merged with canal 

Cross drainage work has the following advantages:
Low initial cost 
However, cross drainage work also has the following disadvantages:
Regulation of such a work is difficult and requires additional staff
The canal has to be designed to carry the increased flood discharge of the drain
