IRRIGATIO~ PROJECT FRO)l THE YALLEY OF EKROOKH·

Bom~ay Gorernment letter No . .!2~3J~~· OF 1866-Bo;nbay, 2nd

},[arch lt-!66.-I am directed to forward for the sanction .of the
Government of India, plans and estimates for an irri~ation project
from the valley 0f Ekrookh, in the Sholapoor Collectorate.
2. The Government of India will perceive that the estimated·
cost of the works is-
For works •.•...•••. Rs. 7,76,275
Land compensation .• , 1,57,2:36

Total Rs. 9,33,511

3. The estimated net revenue is Rs. 94,912, or a little over
10 per cent., calculated on minimum rates uf assessment.
4. The principal work is the Dam, 7,200 feet long, with a
maximum l1eight of 72 feet. The area of this tank will be 6!
square miles, part of tbe area of drainage. The minimum
rainfall at Sholapoor is 13 inches, and the . tank is calculated to be
filltd l)y a fall of 6~ inches. The maximum depth of water will be
60 feet (level with the Waste \reir). .
5. The land to be irrigated is estimated as follows : -
25 square miles= 16,000 acres perennial.
21 , = 13,400 , 4 months.
10 ,, = 6,440 , ditto.
56 35,8SO
Considerable quantities of ''mste land will be brought under cul-
ti\'ation, and there is little doubt that the project \rill be rernunera·
tive to a greater extent tlwn is estimated.
6. The project has Lcen elaborately matured, and from a pe-
rusal, it _will be seen that every side of the question has been well
con:;idered, and I am directed to represent, in urging tlwt the
Gorcrnmcnt of India may sanction the project ~s soon as pos~iLle,
that it would appear to be useless to prepare any more irrigation
J cw
 projects of the nature, if the very favourable one now submitted be
considered unsatisfactory or financially impracticable.

Government of India, reply No. 508 C--Simla, the 8th June

1866 ...---I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
No. s9o'2 w. of 2nd March last, submitting a printed report and
estimate for the construction . of an irrio·ation tank at Ekrookh near
~

Sholapore.
2. The amount of the estimate for the work, exc1nsi-re of
establishment,* is Rupees 8,98,2:26, and
* TLis, though properly set the returns are estimated at rather more
d0l'l'n ill a cnlcnlntio::t to deter-
mine profits, is, according to than 10 per cent. on the ''hole ontlay,
rnle, sep:~rately pro,-ided iu the
Budget Estimate of the year. including the sum set clo·wn for establish-
ment during construction.
3. The estimate of profits has been framed by Colonel Fife, in
communication with l\Iajor Francis, and in the j ud,g·ment of these
officers the Government of India has much confidence. The project
has also been drawn up with much care. _
4. Taking these ~acts into consideration, together with the
strong recommendation of the Government of Bombay, the Governot·
General in Council is pleased to accord sanction to the e:;timate,
amounting to Rupees 8,98,2:26, for the \Yorks and compensation
for lund, &c., subject to certain conditions contained in the follo\\'ing
paragraphs, although, fur reasons detailed below, His Excellency
in Council has considerable doubt as to the profit5 reaching the
amount calculated on.
5. In calculating the probahle returns from the scheme, a
snm of 5 per cent. for establishment during construction appears to
the Governor General in Council to be far too small.
6. His Excellency in Council co:1siders that 15 per cent. \rill
be a fair estimate, and this would bring the total cost of the under-
taking to Rupees 10,09,374, reducing the net return to about D per
cPnt., on the supposition tl1at the work '\\ill be carried out for the
amount of the estimate, and that the revenue will equal the anticipa-
tions of the project01~s
 3

7. The estimate ofreYenue, as given at page 25 of the Report,

is as follo,rs :-
P~;rennial canal, 8,400 acres, principally sugar· · Rs.
cane, at Rupees 8...................... 67,200
4 months' canal, right bank, 9,000 acres, at
Rupees 4 . :. . . . . • . . . . . • . . . . . . • . • . . . . . 36,000
4 months' canal, left bank, 3,750 acres, at Rs. 4. l 5,000

Deduct- 1, 18,200
Establishment and maintenance at 3 per cent,
on Rupees 7,76,275.... . .. . • .. .. • • . • .. • • 23,288

::\et revenue.............................. 94,912

8. "'ith regard to the return expected from the four months'
canals, I am to ubserre, that the rate of i 50 acres of rice watered
for every foot of discharge, although the amount 'rill to some extent
depend on the natme of the soil, appears somewhat high. It is
thought that 90 acres. per foot of discharge on these canals would
be a nearer approximation to the probable results.
9. I am further to point out, that the area expecte1d to be
irrigated by the left bank four months' canal, as given above, is
considerably in excess of the amount of land under command of this
canal, which is stated at· page 3 of the Report to be 1,280 acres.
From the map it would also seem that 1,600 acres is an outside limit
of land commanded.
10. For these reasons it would seem that the estimate of returns
should be somewhat modified, and would in this view stand more
nearly as follows:- .• Rs.
Perennial canal, as before .....•••••......•..• 67,200
4 months' canal, right bank, 5,400 acres, at Rs. 4 •• 21,600
4 months' canal, left bank, I ,600 acres, at Rs. 4 • • 6,400

95,200
Deduct establishment, &c. . •.•.•••• 23,288

Net Return ...•••.•..... , .....•••. , ........ 71,912

or rather o\·er 7 pe~· cent. on the outlay.
 4

11. The rate allowed in the case of the perennial canal seem3
still to be high, considering that it is based on the supposition that
all the land will either be irrigated for sugarcane, or that there
will be two crops on land within reach of the wat,-r. Further,
it is admitted that the acceptance of the rates by the people is
doubtful, and will be a work of time.
12. Some degree of uncertainty as to tlle profits to be ex-
pected is moreover introduced, bv the fact that calculations of
discharge, and consequently of rev~nue, have been based on the
supposition that an increased fall of 1i foot per mile will be given
to all the canals, as recommended by the Superintending Engi.
neer, whilst the effect of this increase on the cost of the works
has not been taken into account. 'Yith reference to this point,
I am to reqi1est that the revised plans and estimates may be care-
fully tested by the Engineers, under orders of the Government
of Bombay, before the work is commenced, and should the cost
exceed that which that Gowrnment is competent to sanction under
the rules, the orders of the Government of India on the revisf'd esti-
mate should be awaited before the ·work is set in hand.
13. 'With regard to the details of the project, I am to
notice the want of data on which to determine the amount of
waterway to be allowed for the drainage across the cannls, and
to request that due attention may be given to tl1is point before
commencing work.
14. The Waste \Yeir of the dam, as designed, is 250 feet
in length, its crest being; 1'2 feet below the top of the dam. Wirh
a depth of ·5 feet of water over its crest, it will discharge 12,500
cubic feet of water per second.
1.5. Calculations based on the highest flood marks of the
river which it is proposed to dam up, are said to give a maximum
discharge of 37,000 cubic feet per srcond; but it is :epresent:d
that such floods are of short duration, and that the d1scharge m
such floods, as last four or five days, is only about 11,000 cubic
feet per second. On· these grounds, it is considered that the dimen-
.sions of the \reir, as designed, are sufficient.
 5

16. The point is one on which the opinions of the local

officers are entitled to much consideration; but having regard to
the laro·e
I:>
amount of 'rater stored, and the immense destruction
which any accident to the dam· 'rould cause, and looking also
to the fact that a large additional length of 'Yeir may be provided
with but little extra expense, His Excellency in Council is of
opinion, that it is highly desirable to double the length of this
"rcir, and de~ires t!Jat this be considen·d as one of the conditions
under \Yhicb sandio11 is accorded to the project.
17. It will further be necessary for the Government ofBombav
to satisfy tl1e Gorernment of the Kizam as to the compensation
to Le •giren fot· those villages belonging to His Highness which
will be submHgccl.
18. ''v'l.:ilst His Excellency in Council has, for the reasons
giYen in the 3rd paragraph of this letter, accorded sanction to
the pre~ent estimate, with the few conditions noticed above, I am
to obserYc that, until tlJC financial succes:; of this project has
been (•stablishcd, the Guverlll1l<'llt of India will n11t be disposed
to sanction further 'vorks of this nature, \Yithuut stronget· proof..,
than are furnished in the present instance that they are likely to
prove profitable. A con6iderable margin should be left to cover
any po:;siLle deficiencies in the estimates of cost, either from unfore-
seen difficulties so likely to occur in works of this nature, or from
a rise in rates dming the progress of the work-a contingency
which past experience has shom1 to be not improbable. The extreme
importance of constmcting such inigation works only as will pay
a good profit, and thus afford tl1e means to GovernmE:nt of extending
irrigation, has of late been frequently dwelt upon by the Govern-
ment of India, and is doubtless fully appreciated by His Excellency
the Governor in Council of Bombay. It is in view to this aspect
of the case that the GoYernment of India considers it necessary to
restrict its sanction in the present case, aud to dwell somewhat
strongly upon the points of doubt adYerted to.
ID. ""ith regard to funds for the execution of this work, I
am to obsene, that the GoYernment of India is unable to allot
 6

ani special grant for the purpose during the current year, and it
is therefore left to the Bombavw Go-rernment to ~.mo-o·est anv re-appro-
0~ ~

priation of existing allotments, should it desil'L' to c'Jmmence the

work at once. Possibly something may be obtained from the grant
for the Kurrachee Harbour "~ orks.
20. Should, howe-rer, any general scheme for raising funds
specially for works of irrig·ation be determineu on, provi~ion will be
made for this project, and if not, the fact of this project being ready
- will be taken. into consideration in fixing the grants for the year
1867-68.
21. The sanction accorded has been entered as No. 16 C of
1866-67 in the Register of this office.

Bombay Gorernment No. 1 ;d;w~ OF 1S6G, 6th July 1866.-

620

REsOLt;TlON.-Copies of the Government of India's letter No. 508 C

should be sent to Colonel Fife and the Superintending Engineer for
Irrigation.
2. ·The discrepancies in the estimate of returns, pointed out
under paragraphs 5, 8, and 9, should be explained, and reviseu plans
prepared and submitted before the work is commenced.
3. Paragraphs 13 to 18 should be attended to in carrying out
the works, the changes finally adopted being reported as soon as they
are determined on.
4. Reference should be made in the Political Department in
regard to the compensation for land in His Highnes3 the Nizam's
Territories. Several copies of the report should be sent to Sir G. A.
Yule, and the farour of his aid to obtain an early disposal of the q ues-
tion should be requested.
5. With regard to paragraph 18, it may be pointed out to the
Government of India, that irrigation works from large tanks and re-
servoirs cannot be expected to pay as large an interest as: works from
rivers, but that much of the nlue of the Ekrookh Tank scheme
consists in the supply of water which it \\ill afford to the town and
cantonment of Sholapore, whieh are at present almost destitute of
 7

water. Tl1is therefore should not be taken as a standard for irriga-

tional works in this Presidency.
6. ".ith regard to paragraph 19~ any funds available may be
employed iu taking up the land required for the work, and while the
negociations for this are in progress, the Superintending Engineer
should report on the points required to satisfy the Government of
India as to the soundness of the project. ·
7. Government would be glad of Colonel Fife's opinion on the
several points raised by the GoYernment of India, and on the mode
in which, and tlJe officers by whom, he would propose to arrange
for the execution of the \rork.

No. oF IS66.-l5th September l R66. Letter from the Superintending

Engineer {or Irrigation, No. lllG, dated 6th September 18G6.
Requesting to know whether the Ekrookh Tank cnn he commenced at once, and
applying for a sum of Rs. 30,000 for the work in the current year 1866-67.
REsor.urrox.-Go\ernment sanction the expenditure of a sum

.
on the Ekrookh IrriO'ation
0
Project.
2. The neces~ary re-appropriation and report to the Govern-
ment of India will be made hereafter.

CoLONEL FIFE's No.2, dated 3rd September 1866.-2. The

remark made in paragraph 5 of the letter from the Government
of India No. 508 C is just. The 5 per cent. for establishment
allo,ved in the e~timate was only for extra establishment. Taking
permanent establishment also, I think 15 per cent may fairly
represent the proportion. II! calculating the return from the outlay,
I had not considered the cost of permanent establishment during
construction, but I admit that this item of expense ought to be added
to the estimate in calculating the return from remuneratiYe works.
3. With reference to the 8th paragraph of the Government of
India's letter, I should explain, that the irrigation to be carried on
by means of the four months' canals, is not entirely for rice, but for
all the ordinary crops grown during the monsoon Eeason. In the
 8

Sholapoor District they p1·incipa1ly consist of jowaree (the cholum

of Madras) and bajE>rri crops, which reqnire but little water, but
which the people do irrigate when watt-r is available. I believe that
the effect of bne cubic foot constant of discharge for 4 months is by
no means over estimated at 150 acres.
4. From paragraph 9 of the same letter, I observe that some
misconception has arisen, principally from the omission of the date3
of letters in the printed compilation from which the Government of
India quote. The figures showing that the small area under corn·
mand of the left four m~:mths' channel are taken from 1 letter written
by me before the plans ~ei·e finally matured. The figures given at
page 18 show the l:;lreas under command according to tl1e final
plans. They are Mr. Campbell's figures, and will I think be found to
be correct: Mr. CampbeU will no doubt be able to show this. I should
mention, that in addition to the land immediatly abreast of the
channel, there will generally be a considerable area beyond the
terminus, which the zeminda:·s' minor channels will reach.
5. The point to· which att~ntion is drawn in paragraph 12 of
the Government of India's letter, may be very quickly answered by
Mr. Campbell, ·who is more familiar with the levels than myself. The
effect of increasing the slope of the channels, will be to diminish their
cross sections, ~mel that of all the ml'lsonry works, and thus diminish
the cost; but, on the other hand, the loss of fall with oblige us to ex-
tend the canals a little further, to command the same area of land as
before. The cross slopes of the valleys are so steep, that the loss of fall
of a few feet will not make much difference in the area that ' "ill be
under command, and I think that the increase of slope to the channels,
as recommended by me, will not matermlly affect the cost either one
way or the other. If lVIr. Campbell can show this, I would suggest
that the commencement of the work be not delayed, pending the pre·
paration of fresh del ailed plans. Before he commences the excavation
of any of the channels, he should of course lay down their lines afresh
with the altered slope; but most of the small masonry aqueducts and
culverts will answer if the width of channel orer them is a little re-
duced, and it would be a pity to delay the work on their account.
 u. jfr. Campbdl will doubtless be avle to show that he has
already carefully considered the waterway allow·ed for cross drainage
under the channels. ·
7. The dimensions of the 'Yaste Weir, alluded to by the Govern-
ment of India in their paragraphs 14, 15, and 16, were very carefully
considered by l\Ir. Campbell and myself, and I think, when the
subject is further explained to the Government of India, they will
either Le satisfied with the length pro·rided in the plans, or with a
~ma1Icr increase than that mentioned at the conclusicn of their 16th
p:.ungraph. Mr. CamplJell, who made the detailed surYey, and who is
now on the spot, will Le able to show better than my::elf how large the
allo\\ancc already made is, and how greatly the expense '"ill Le in-
creased if the length is much increased; there will be heavy cutting in
rock and boulders. I may mention, that the flood discharge of the
Ri rer ~'-cleela is calculated on the veiocity due to its slope of bed; Lut we
know tl1at in small irregula1· channels with a steep slope, this theore-
ticc.l Yelocity, and consef)_uently theoreti~al discharge, is far beyond
\1hat actualiy occurs. I rimy also mention, that when the 'Vaste
'.Y eir has 5 feet depth of water running over it, the top of the Dam
"ill still be 7 feet aLove the l'urface of the water.
8. While thus calling attention to the particulars of the design,
I however do not mean to underrate the importance of the remarks
made by the Government of India. I would howeYer respectfully
sug:gest, that on account of the great extra expense that must be
entailed Ly doubling the length of the Waste \\'eir, further inYestiga·
• tiou of the subject of the rirer's discharge should he n1ade by 1\Ir.
CampLcll 11hile work is in progress, now that there will be an estab-
lis1nnent on the spot, and opportunity will be afforded of observing the
Hirer .\.deda's actual Yelocity and discharge during flood. A resi-
dt'nce on the spot 1rill also enable ::\Ir. CampbE:ll, or his Assistant, to
· Yc-ril}· tl1e flod lerel on which the origiual ralculations are based.
D. Ml'. Campb21l can of c·ourse easily r-eport what the cost of
uou0lin~ tile length of the \raste "·eir '"ill
be, that the Government
of Iudia HlilJ at ouce b~ow what expense will be incuned, should the
<'oHJitions they l1a ve laid do\m he exactly adhered to.
2cw
 10

10. With reference to the concluding paragraph of GoYcrn·

mentResolution No. Mo1;;7"""· dated Gth July last, I would respectfully
suggest, that 1\Ir. Campbell should be first c~lled upon to show
exactly the order and manner in which he \rould carry out the 11orks
from the very commencement to the final closing of the Dam. I am
most willing to gire my advice, but with a 'rork requiriug such
extraordinay care, and the possibility of my not being pre~ent when
the time arrives for finally closing the Dam, it appears to me that the
Executive Officers should think out the whole matter for themselres,
and Government may then call for my opinion on theit· plans. I
think GoYernment will concur \rith me on this point. For the pre.
sent therefore I will merely mention the follo·wing points which the
Executive Officers should bear in mind:-
First.-No portion of the masonry o1· earthwork cJ the Dam
should be executed by contract; but the excavation
for the 'Vaste ,,.eir channelmny be done Ly contract.
Second.- The earthen Dam may he formed by daily task "·ork
under close supervision; but the breaking to rieces of
the lumps of earth and ramming must not be done by
ta::::k work.
Tl1ird.- The Executive Engineer, or his As~istant, should live
antl be ahcays present ou the spot while the work is
go111g on.
Fourth.- The 0\'erseers must be on the work the whole day
long, and they must be men of kno\rn steady industry.
Not a shovel full of earth Ol' trowel full of mortar
must be placed upon the work without their seeing it.
Fifth.-Jf possible, the whole of the earth should be taken from
the inside of the reserYoir, but not '"vi thin l 00 feet of
the toe of the slope of the Dam. All excavations
outside, that is, in rear of the Duncl, are objectionable,
and must not be resorted to if they can be avoitled.
If necessary they shoultl Le far removed from the
'rork.
 11

Sixtlt.-The Dam will be nearly 1~ miles in length, and a flaw

in one yard of the whole length may cause a failure
and catastrophe, no matter how n-;.uch attention may
have been bestowed on all the remainder.
11. The arrangement already decided by Government, of
pbcing the work under J\Ir. Campbell's direction, and giving him an
Assistant, will answer during the excavation for the 'Vaste 'Veir
channel, and exca-ration for foundation of masonry works; Lut 1vhen
the Dam and masonry have actually to be commenced, I ~hould be
glad if Government would again ask for my opinion on the executive
arrangements.

Acting Chief Engineer in Sind, No. 2, dated 3rd September 1866.

Furnishes, with reference to Goremmeut Resolution No. t 201;;7w. _dated 6th July
1SGG, explanation of certain points regarding the Ekrookh Tank Project,
HEsOLUTION.-This letter may be communieated to Lieutenant
Colonel Playfair, 11l10 should now be requested to report on the
points noticed by the Government of India, and submit any revision
of plans and estimates 11hich may be required, and also any sugges-
tions of 1\Ir. Campbell for the execution of the work.

LrEn.-CotONEL PLAYF.un's No. J21 !;, dated 24th September

1SGG.-1 first take those paragraphs of the Secretary to the Govern-
ment of India's letter No. 50S C of the 8th June 186.6, which require
an ansY1e1·, seriatim.
(Paragraph 5.) There is a misconception here; the establish~
mcnt, calculated at :J per cent.,· 1ras temporary or extra establishment.
It has not been the custom to include a clmrge for permanent estab-
li:3lnnent in our estimates, but I note that Colonel Fife in J1is report
~llys, thu.t it sl10uld be allowed for in calculating the profit on remu.
11er<ttire \lOlls. Fifteen per cent. on this therefore must be included
in the rcvi:3ed estimate.
3. (Par<1graph 8.) D)th Colonel Fife and l\Ir. Campbell
(ride an extract of the latter's letter appended) agree in stating that 150
 12

acres at least ~rill be watered by 1 cubic foot constant for "1 mont!JS,
and. 1 (1uite concur.
4. (Paragraph !J.) ·A great confusion exists about the area
commanded by the left b:mk 4 month:;' canal; the £gure:; shown in
pag·~ IS, v.hich Colonel Fife reports to be correct, are stated by ~Ir.
Campbell to be wrong. I ,~-ill ha:re the point satisfactorlly cleared
up in the Rrised estimate.
5. (Paragraph 12.) :Jir. Campbell says (ride extract append-
ed), that the fdll recommended by Colonel Fife ''illnry mat·::rially
rJiect the quantity of land to be commanded, ~rhile Colonel Fife
does .not think it- v.ill. I will direct him to thoroug;hly consider
the matter v.hm he makes ont the revised estimate.
G. (Paragraph 13.) ~Jr. Campbell now doubts 11hether he
has allowed sufficient 11atenray for cross drair.age in the perennial
cam.l, he shall include what more is required in his re·dsecl estimate.
7. (Paragraph 14.) The enlarging the\\~ aste \fcir is a mo5t
important pint. I quite a~ree 11ith the Go,ernment of India, and
think it c.ught to be doubled in length. ~~Ir. Campbell t:lh me, that·
the extra cost 1.ill not Le cxcessh·e; the material cut ::nray''ill
all be
used for the Dar::1. Colonel Fife, on the contrary, thinks th2 dimen·
sions originally allov.·ed sufficient. :i.\ow I wish to say a f0w worcl5
on this point. During my long residence in the Dhar\\ar Districts,
in 1.hich £:1e tanks abom~d, the \Yaste \feir que~tion ~.a:; perpetually
bef0re me; r;:mny of the finest tanks (now repai~ecl) were breached,
and the cause of failure had, in every case, been the insufficiency of
the \Yaste \Ycir. ·when I emile to repair them, for some reason or
other not '\cry clearly known to thern~h·es, the villagers were utterly
opposed to any increase in the length of the \Yaste \Veir (one of the
rea:!OD5 I think v.as, that when very long, they could not clo5c it
by earth and sticks, and thm store more 1.ater, a cor:1mon Lut nry
dangerous practice) ; but n1any of them carne at last to see that I was
r:ght; I will gire one instance:-There was a wry fine tank (at As-
!;oondie), which had been repaired o\·er and o'ler again, but ahrays
failed, until a trad~tion arose, that the water goddess had set her face
agaimt it; it was finally taken in hand by the Public \rorks Depart·
 13

ment, and I at once more than doubled the 'Yaste 'Veir, much to the -
::mDrn·atiCe
•
of the villa()·crs
0 '
who ridiculed its size, which indeed did
look :,omewhat preposterous with regard to the section of the· stream
fecJing the tank. I happened to be in the neighbourhood when a
heavy thunderstorm occurred, and a report reached me that the
tank lmd burst; on riJing some 20 miles and cresting the summit
cJ the hill, my anxiety was relieved by seeing the lake shining in the
Yalley evidently undisturbed; Lut on reaching the Dam, I found
that the \Vaste Weir, large as it was, had been barely sufficient, the
marks left by fraginents of trees, brushwood, &c. on the Dam shore,
:::h;:nrcd that the water had not been far from oyertopping it : had the
\r aste \Veir retained its old dimensions, nothing could have saved it,
at<d tlw villagers. had the sense to see t~1ey had been wrong. From
my experience in this and many otl1er cases, I most strongly recom-
mend that the 'Yaste Weir of the Ekrookh Tank should be made so
18.:';:-\ that come what 1nay in the shape of a flood, it may be no
cause of uneasiness to us.
8. (Paragraph 17 ~ Negotiations are properly in-train to satisfy
His Highness the Nizam. · -
9. I have now considered all the paragraphs of the Secretary to
the Gorernment of India's letter which require notice, and l1ave
instrncted 1\Ir. Campbell to make the revised estimate as quickly as.
possible; it now only remains to say a word on the 1Oth and II th
parugraphs of Colonel Fife's report. I quite agree with him in the
remarks in paragraph 10; but acld, Yrhich he does not notice, that a
puddle wall ought to be carried up all along the centre of the Dam, and
tarried below the ground on which it rests until it reache3 rock or hard
imperrious strata. This is so well-known and necessary a precaution
as to require no comment. Paragraph 11 is somewhat mysterious;
but I helieYe Colonel Fife means that l\Ir. Campbell must be on the
~pot him:;:elf and not his Assistant. There is no doubt of this: much
as I shall miss l1im in Sattara, I intend shortly to propose to Govern·
ment that some one (probably Captain Penny if he returns in time)
should net for him there, "·hile he takes exclusive charge of the
Ekrookh Tank.

Extract paragraplt 2 of a letter No. 3:23 of 8th September I SGG,

from the Executire Engineel'j01' Irrigation, Sattara, to the SI!)Jr:l'in-
tending Engineer for 1!'1'igation.-" 2. With regard to the number
of acres of rubbee cultivation to be irrigated by a cubic foot of
water, it appears, that in the 8th paragraph of Lieutenant Colonel
Dickens' letter, it has been taken for granted that rice is, as a rule,
the rubbee crop of these districts, '\Yhereas it really is the excep-
tion ; out of every 100 acres of irrigated rubbec crop in these
districts, perhaps not more than one or two acres will Le found to
Ground Nuts. be of rice. The crops giren in the margin are
Rutthala. tho~e principally sown here, and for them 1
Brinjalls.

cubic foot per 150 acres will be found not to
Tobacco. be a high estimate; for some of them l cubic
'furrneric. foot will suffice for 200 acres. I th~refore
think that our estimate for an average one is not far from tbe truth."

Extract (Jf paragraplt 4 of a letter :A1fl. 323 of 8t!t September

IS66,from :Jfr. 9ampbell.-" 4. By increasir:;- the f~tll of the canal
from 1 foot per mile to 2~ feet per mile, the area of land under
command towards the tail especially will be very mnc1J rccluced ; for
instance in the case of the perennial canal, 'vhich is 28 miles in length,
the loss of head at the tail will be n0 less than 42 feet: this I have no
hesitation in saying would rob us of nearly one-half of the land at pre~
sent commanded. As the canal is only a ~hort one, the area of water
shed above the canal would not be increased to such an extent that
any alterations in the design for nullah crossings ll'onlcl be necessary ;
the propo5ed increased fall to the canal would therefvre have no
direct tendency to increase the c't>st of the ·work ; but I cannot Lut
think it woulu be advisable to increase the fall to the extent pro-
posed, when the loss of command would be so great; I 'vould
propose that the fall be increased by Ginches a mile, the canal 'rill
eventually be hedged in, and '\rill always be looked nftcr, so that no
o-reat alteration in the cross section of the channel need erer take
b
place."

Srrr G. YcLI::'s No. 1412, dated 7th August 1866.-l have

tile honor to ack"iiow ledge the receipt of your letter No. 210-1,
dated the 21st ultimo, with accompaniments, connected with the
projected Irrigation Tank at Ekrookh near Sholapoor, and to state
tl~at I have forwarded to His Highne~s the Nizam's Minister copies
of the correspondence, and the Selections from the Records of the
Bombay Government, Irrigation Series No. J, and informed him
tlmt I tnEt to his compliance with the wishes of the I3om bay Govern·
ment, that I Ehall communicate with him hereafter as to the mode
and extent of the compensation for the land t() be occupied by the
tauk, "\Yhich by one computation uppears to be 634 acres in four vil·
lages, and by another 415 in two, while one of these two is not in·
eluded in the four villages, and that I have applied to hav~ this
point cleared up, and in the mean time begged he will duly consider
the papers, and procure such information on the subject as the
uncertainty in regard to the extent of lands and villages to which
they belong will permit him to do.
2. I beg His Excellency the Governor will cause me to be
fa vo1·eJ wit!1 an explanation of the above 'difference. Page 2 of
the Selections gives four villages as belonging to the Nizam, of which
it is ouly necessary to notice two, viz:-
Acres g. n.
Tarah Go\V., .............. 221 39 10
~Iardee ..••.....•••••.... 398 4 0
This is only an estimate of the area, and J presume the Engineer's
statement (page 17) of 415 acres is founded on measurement; but then
lw says these belong to Tarah Gow a!id Taklee, and the two maps,
one in the Selections and the other accompanying letter No. 2879 of
the 1Oth September 1863, add to. the difficulties:, for they do not
correspond with each other, or give all the villages mentioned in the
correspondence.

this land being at the slmllow part of the tank, will become dry sootJ

4. In order to show that each village only loses a small portion
of its ''hole lands, I add the following statement:-

interfered with.

5. Under the circumstances that each village loses a small
portion of its land only, and gains the adrantage of a perpctnd
supply of water for its cattle, of an opportunity of irrigating by a
small lift on the margin of the tank, and a large extent of grazing-
ground as the water falls, I should think the matter of compematiuu
might be managed without any insuperable difficulty.
6. Taradgaum mu:;t be I'em;ved from its present site, and it'
houses re-erected above the margin of the tank.

No. 1530 OF ISGG.

PuBLIC \YonKs DEPARTJIIENT.

Superintending Engineerfor Irrigation's Office)

Camp Bhatodee, 22nd November 18G6.
To THE SECRETARY TO GovERNl\IENT,
Pllblic Works Department, Bombay.
Sm,-With reference to Government Resolution No.~ 1367
of the
6th July 1866, provisionally sanctioning the Ekrookh Tank at Shola-
poor,. I have now the honor to forward a report and a revised estimate
I have just receh·ed from 1\lr.Campbell, and to add myself the fol-
owing remarks :-
2. With regard to paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Secretary to the
Government of India's No. 503c of the 8th June last, in the revised
estimates, 15 per cent. has bet:n allowed for contingencies and extra
establishment. The Government of India considers "that this will
bring the total cost of the undertaking to Rs. 10,09:37 4, reducing
the net return to about · 9 per cent." This is nearly the case.
The revised estimate comes to Rs. 10,30,039, and calculated profit
is 8·2 per cent.
3. Colonel Fife has answered paragraph 8 in the 3rd para-
graph of his No. 2 from Kurrachee, dated 3rd September last, in
which he says, that 150 acres per cubic foot per second is by no
means an over estimation. Mr. Bro1rn, the Executive Engineer for
lrrio·ation
0
in Khandeish, tells me that 1 cubic foot per second will,
from actual experiment, water 220 acres. Mr. Campbell has taken
200 acres per cubic foot for the four months' canal, and only 100
acres for the perennial. I think in practice the first calculation will
be worked up to, and at any rate any deficiency will be conpensated
by the perennial, for_ I am sure more than 100 acres will be watered
by it.
 21

4. With regard to paragraph 9, former mistakes have now been

corrected, and 1,200 acres is the correct amount that will be watered
by the lefL bank Jierennial canal.
5. Paragraph 10. 1\Ir. Campbell has revised his estimate of
profit, which now is 84,200 net on an expenditure of 10,30,059 or 8·2
per cent. He has increased his rates as follows:-
Iustead of 4rupees and 8 rupees, he has set down 6 rupees
and 10 rupees, and I think- him quite right in doing so. I
would refer you on this subject to the correspondence about the
rates to be levied on the Rewadee Canal, which is now before Govern-
ment, and in which various opinions are collected relative to the sums
to be charged for water. I will not go again into the subject now,
but content myself with saying, that if water is to be provided for
cultivation, it must be so charged for as to yield a profit, without
at the same time rack-renting the ryots, and we know that the rates
here set down are not excessive, because they are willingly paid
elsewhere.
6. I would call your attention to Mr. Campbell's 4th para-
graph. Colonel Francis, Revenue Survey Commissioner, told me
the other day, that the assessment on similar works elsewhere was
not a crop assessment, but that the 'vater rate was fixed annually,
whatever use the land was turned to; this will be the case eventually
at Ekrookh.
7. Paragarph 12 is answered by the submission of this report,
estimatE', and plan Ly Mr. Campbell, in which the increased fall
is provided for, and the amount of the estimate sanctioned in paragraph
G of the Government of India's letter, viz. 10,09,874, is not exceeded
to an amount of any consequence.
8. Paragraph 16. I have already, in, my letter No. 1218,
entered fully into the subject of the 'Vaste 'Veir, and have advocated
doubling it. Mr. Campbell has provided for doing so.
9. Paragraph 17. :Matters are, as you an: aware, in train to
satisfy His Highness the Nizam. ·
 2:2
10. You will see, that in making his revised estimate, in order
to keep within the amount sanctioned by the Government of India,
1\Ir. Campbell has been obliged to give up the idea of making a part
of the length of the dam of earth and a part of masonry, as originally
intended. A fresh examination of the ground has convinced him that
the whole can be more economically made of earth. This being the
case, I see no reason why the least expensive way should not be
adopted, and with the permission of Government, the work will be
so carried out.
11. His Excellency Sir Bartle Frere mentioned the other day,
that he should like to hear that the work had really been commenced.
I, in consequence, ordered Mr. Campbell to begin digging the puddle
trench at once. The work however will not go on as we should like
all to see it, until Mr. Campbell can go to Sholapoor and take it
vigourously in hand himself; on this subject I beg to refer you to my
No. 1451 of the 6th instant.
Captain Penny will be out the first mail in December, and un.
less it is absolutely necessa1·y for him to go elsewhere, it would be of
real advantage to Government for him to resume his appointment in
Khandeish; this would relieve Mr. Brown, who could then act for
Mr. Campbell, while he went on special duty to Sholapoor. This
would prevent any delay or trouble in our irrigation works, by keep-
ing them in the hands of those already trained to the peculiar duties.
12. Mr. Campbell will set to work on the grant of Rs. 30,000,
awarded in Government Resolution No. 8211M~~w. of 15th September
1866; when he has felt his way, and knows what his requirements will
be, he can if necessary ask for a further grant.

E:recuticc Engineer for Irrigation's 0 tfice, S. D.,

Camp Izadpoor, 14th :November 1866.
To the SuPERINTENDING ENGINEER FOR InniGATION.

Sm ,-As directed in your letter No. 1213 of 22nd September

1RGG, I have the honor to forward you the revised estimate, No. 3
of 1866-67, amounting toRs. 10,30,059, for the Ekrookh Tank, and a
tracing showing the relative position of the canals laid out at the
new fall proposed by Colonel Fife.
'2. The area of land commanded by the canals as originally
laid out is as follo"·s :-
Perennial canal .•...•.. 25 square miles ( 16,000 acres).
!light bank 4 months do. 21 do. ( 13,440 do. )
Left do. 2 do. ( 1,280 do. )
Ditto with new proposed fall:-
Perennial canal •....... 18 square miles (11,520 acres).
night Lank 4 months do. 17 do. (I O,f3SO do.)
Left do. ...• 2 do. ( 1,280 do. )
In the case of the perennial canal the loss is rather large, but
as the quantity of land th;lt '"ill be watered by this canal is only
5,500 acres, or a little under half the total area, there will Le sufficient
for our purpose.
3. The manner in which I propose to distribute the water
in the JifTercnt c::mals is as follows:-
Perennial canal, 55 feet per second, at 100 acres per foot 5,500.
night bank 4 months do. 55 do. ut 200 do. 7,000.
Ld't do. Gmonths at do. 200 do· 1;200.
 The return that may be expected is as follows:-
5,500 acres perennial irrigation at Rs. 10 per acre. 53,000
700 do. rubbee do. at , 6 do. 42,000
1,200 do. · do. do. at , 6 do. 7,200

Rupees .. 1,04,200
Deduct for maintenance and establishment:-
Earthen Bund ...... Rs. 10,000
Canals. . . • . . . • . . . . , 1O,OCO

. Rupees .. 84,200
'Vhich gives Sk per cent. on the outlay of Rs. 10,30,059.
4. The return here has been calculated on the crop assessment,
but under the usual Bagayet Eystem, (where the w~tcr rate is paid
annually on the land, whether it be irrigated, planted with a
dry crop, or left fallow,) the 1:eturn will be nearly doubled, or at
least increased by one~third. It will also be seen, that I have not
taken credit in my calculations for any monsoon irrigation. It is not
easy to estimate the amount"of land that will be so irrigated, aud I
have therefore omitted it, but it may be assnmed that there will
be some, and this will assist the work in paying a fair percentage
on its cost.
5. Just beyon~ the 28th mile of the perennial canal, at which ,
point it terminates., a large nulla exiBts, to cross which would cost us
Rs. 7,000 or 8,000. .I have therefore thought it ad visabl.e to stop
short of that point; however, as a large quantity of good land can he
irrigated beyond the nulla, the canal can at any future time be
carried on to it if it thould be found advisable to do so.
6. It was originally proposed to construct a part of the tank
build of masonry, as at those points the earth that would be required
for the embankment would have to be brought from some distance ;
but it has since been found that the cost of masonry in Sholapoor is
very great, and that it would be less expensive to construct the whole
 25
bund of earth. The estimate and design has therefore been altered
accordingly.
7. The rates in the estimate of aqueduct, &c. have been altered
to those at present obtaining in the district, hut the designs have not
been altcreu. It may however be here mentioned, that as the water-
way originally provided is rather low, ·a few feet more aqueducts and
escapes have been eutered in the estimate. ·
8. The width of the 'Yaste 'Veir has been doubled, and the
materials excavated will be used as found convenient in the construc-
tion of the tank bund.
9. A puddle wall in the bund has been provided for, in accord·
ance ith the instructions contained in paragraph No. 3 of your
letter.
