maintaining a sufficient
supply for lands lying at
distance from the main Canal
it will be sufficient therefore
in this place, whilst re capitulating
the different details, to bring the
whold under review as one com=
=prehensive schme of Irrigation.

From what was said before
it will be
understood that on the leadings
65 miles of the course of the
Etawah Terminal, the
supply for Irrigation will
be almost entirely drawn
from the Rajbuha heads on its right bank; this sup=
=ply which is intended to be
free and continuous is in fact
the source upon which the
Hatrass line of Irrigation with
depend for its existence ; on
the principles above described,
the Seyngoor will be crossed
by aqueducts, and these aque=
=duct lines (which I propose
to make 10 feet in width) will
be kept in supply by the
intermediate Rajbuhas
which will meet the aqueduct
line on the Canal side of the
Seyngoor valley. I have sup=
=posed that four aqueducts
with a waterway of 40 feet
in width in the aggregare would
be sufficient for the Hatrass
irrigation on the first 65
miles of the Course of the
Etawah[ Terminal
The position of the Four
aqueducts with their feeders
may be shewn in a diagram
- the four main lines being
designated by the leading towns

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.
