Irrigation; Its Principles and Practice as a Branch of Engineering

IRRIGATION; ITS PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE AS A BRANCH OF ENGINEERING - 1907 - IRRIGATION is a subject which covers much ground, and cannot be confined within the narrow boundaries of a single volume. But the principles on which Irrigation Engineering is based can be-collected in small compass, and be illustrated by examples of actual practice to the extent that space allows. What, therefore, this work attempts to do is to set forth the guiding principles that should govern the practice of irrigation, and to furnish illustrations of their application in existing canal system. The majority of the illllstrations have been selected from the wealth of material that the irrigation experience of India and Egypt supplies, for the following reasons. In the first place, I have been personally connected with irrigation in both countries, and can therefore handle the facts, relating to them, as one having authority on the subject, and not as the scribes, whose methods I might be imitating. were I to draw my illustrations from the records of other countries. In the second place, it is India that furnishes examples of irrigation on the largest scale, and that has been the school in which all British irrigation engineers, previously to Englands occupation of Egypt, have undergone their training. Moreover, the excellent standard work on the subject, The Irrigation Works of India, by R. B. Buckley, C. S. I., provides in a convenient form more than enough material for copious illustrations, and I have made much use of it, with Mr. Buckleys kind erm mission. But it will be found that Egypt has been the favourite source of my borrowing. There are two good so it appears to me reasons for this. The first isthat I am intimately acquainted - with Egypt as an irrigating country. The second is that Egypt is par excelle zce the country of irrigation, as it is wholly dependent for its existence on its mother, the Nile, from which it has never been weaned. Engineers entrusted with the execution of important works, such as, for instance, high reservoir dams, would naturally not be content with what they might find on the subject in a book treating of irrigation generally, but would apply themselves to a study of some work dealing exclusively with the special subject of Dams. And so also with other matters which require ample space for adequate description. Concerning such this work attempts no exhaustive treatment, as being beyond the compass of its embrace. I am much indebted to Mr. R. B. Buckley, C. S. I., for valuable suggestions and much assistance in obtaining and shaping the subject-matter of this book. I am also under obligations to Mr. W. B. Gordon, Director of Irrigation, Cape Colony, and to . Mr. W. L. Strange, Director of Irrigation, Transvaal, for sending me information about their charges. The development of irrigation schemes in South Africa is, however, not sufficiently advanced for illustrations to be obtained from the reports sent me. To Mrs. A. T. Kemble my grateful acknowledgments are due for her kind assistance in the compilation of the Index and to Lady Brown, more than to any beside, for relieving me of all the labour of preparing this work for publication other than that of authorship only...
