numerous channels, and would
finally obtain relief through
numerous Rajbuha escapes;
it would in fact enable us
to destroy the enemy in detail
instead of allowing him to
collect in dangerous masses.
9th By the rule above laid down
the whole system of main canal 593
branches, Rajbuhas and their
feeders, become part and parcel
of one great machine; the
Rajbuha heads being the safety
valves, and the Rajbuha escapes
being the waste pipes. If pro-
perly managed, and if the
sluice heads attached to the
canal are properly adjusted,
it is supposed that the scheme
above propounded would lead
to the maintenance of such
an equilibrium in the height
of the waters surface, that no
apprehension might be en-
tertained for the main canal
or reservoir channels being
dangerously overlooked
In the general design
for the Ganges canal, and in the
calculations on the supply of
water required for irrigation; the
leading 27 1/2 miles, or that part
including the Khadir, and ex-
tending on the high land be-
yond it, as far as the village
of Nuseerpoor, are "considered
"as removed from the influence
"of irrigation from their passing
"through Khadir land in the
"early part of their course, and
"deep digging immediately above
Nusseerpoor"
