Abstract
THE author presents this work as a treatise setting forth the general rules and principles on which the inundation canals and flood embankments of the Punjab are designed and maintained, since no such work has hitherto existed. This we may take as equivalent to saying that the regulations and practice of the Punjab Irrigation Service have not yet been systematised and brought into book form, since the present volume deals with this aspect of the subject, and does not, unfortunately, cover the wider field of the hydrography of the Indus in its bearing on the utilisation of its water.
Punjab Rivers and Works.
