The Asiatic Review January 1935

1935

A great future undoubtedly lies before Sind but that future and the security of the debt depend upon the preservation of the Barrage and its connected canal system intact and upon the maintenance of the highest standards of efficiency in the distribtion of water the assessment and collection of revenue the encouragement of cultivation and the improvement of agricultural methods.". [...] During the hotter months of the year roughly from June to September the melting of the snows in the Himalayan Range and the heavy rainfall which occurs during the same period in the submontane plains of the Punjab supply immense volumes of water to the Indus and its tributaries which rise during those months to a high level. [...] THE EASTERN NARA SCHEME The only part of Fife's proposals which he was allowed to carry out was the cutting of a large supply channel from the left bank of the Indus at Rohri (opposite Sukkur) to feed the old flood channel of the Eastern Nara river and through it to supply irrigtion to the Thar Parker district south of the Khairpur State. [...] THE OPENING OF THE BARRAGE AND CANALS On January 13 1932 His Excellency the Viceroy Earl Willindon declared the Barrage open and pressed buttons which opened"io The Lloyd Barrage and the Future of Sind the canal sluices and first admitted water to the new canals. [...] That the increase on the rice canal has not been more rapid is partly due to the special difficulties of the change over from old to new canals and partly to the reluctance of the cultivator to submit to the elimination of the waste of water which previously occurred whenever it was available.
