Status: Complete

means for irrigation on the whole
tract lying from Bahadoorabad
to the Puttri river; and the es-
tablishment of one or two Raj-
buha heads on the left embank-
ment of the navigable cut
would do everything that could
possibly be required; beyond this
and in the vicinity of the great
works at Dhunowri, and Roorkee 596
in connection with the Rutmoo
and the Solani rivers, irrigation
is hardly required. In the im-
mediate neighborhood of the
Rutmoo, spring water is near
the surface, and on the Peeran
Kulleeur ridge, the depth of canal
channel is opposed to its use
for irrigation. At
the down stream extremity of
the Solani aqueduct, however,
the inlet drains which are con-
nected with the cattle Ghats,
are designed in a way that will
render them available for the
irrigation of the gardens and
land both at and in the neigh-
borhood of Roorkee : they are
in fact in design similar in
every respect to the inlet that
has been universally adopted
on the Ganges canal works; viz :
a masonry channel opening
into the canal, with its head in
the form of a circular well or
cylinder, in which the water
stands to a height equal to that
of the canal high water mark
II. The Rajbuhas on Plumb
this section are as far as the 105th
mile

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
