Book Description
Excerpt from The Irrigation Works of India Since the first edition of the Book appeared in 1893, the area watered by Irrigation Works controlled by Government in India has increased by fifty per cent. The increase is partly due to the development of old works, and partly to the construction of new ones. The original book included some description of the Irrigation Works of Egypt. This has been almost entirely omitted in this revised edition, mainly because a description of Indian works afforded more than sufficient material. The difficulty has been to compress it within a reasonable space. The main features of the book remain the same, but it is altered in form. The chief object of this alteration is to afford space for the Plates on the page of the book itself, and to avoid the inconvenience caused by a large number of folded Plates. The Government of India and the Governments of the various Provinces have kindly given me facilities which have enabled me to correct and amplify the book, and have been good enough to print for me some of the maps which are included in it. I have been placed in direct communication with almost every Chief and Superintending Engineer of Irrigation Works in India. All - or almost all - have given me assistance, and I would express my obligations to them without attempting to specify those to whom I am more particularly indebted. Descriptions of works have, in some cases, been taken almost verbatim from reports and notes supplied by the local officers. As far as possible I have indicated the source of the information by footnotes, but I fear that some may have been omitted. All the unsold copies of the first edition of the book were destroyed by fire at the publishers, and it has consequently been out of print since December, 1903. The delay in issuing this edition has been caused by the fact that Indian irrigation officers are busy men, and it has taken time to collect the information required for its revision. The original work found its way to many of the Colonies and elsewhere, and I trust it has been useful. The record of the great Irrigation Works of India and of the benefits which they confer on the people cannot but tend to display the true beneficence of British rule in the great continent which is so important a portion of the Empire. I have appended a list of books and publications which students of Irrigation will find interesting. Many of them are out of print. They can be seen either at the Library of the India Office or at the Institution of Civil Engineers in London.
