Public Works Department Bombay Presidency Administration Report for the year 1914-15 Part II of Irrigation Works Accounts and Statistical Statements

1916

The condition of the river approaches at the head of the Jamrao and of the canal itself is very satisfactory. [...] The purpose of the long lines of protective embankment found in Sind is to prevent the flood waters of the Indus from spreading over and devastating the country. [...] As was done in the previous three years the whole course of the River ludas from Rojh Ai in the Punjab down to the bifurcation a clear length of 535 miles also 37 miles of the Haideri and 63 miles of the Ochito were surveyed and plotted. [...] In addition to this surveys of the Gudu Dhand and its feeders and the " Central passage of the Indus " were carried out and cross sections of the river were taken at Jherruck Belo and just above the bifurcation and of Haideri and Ochito below the bifurcation. [...] The poor state of these in the Ghar Canals District is no doubt due to the poor quality of the soil and the want of wells in the compounds of the Inspetion Bungalows.
