[table follows]

Distance from the main canal to the bed of


the East Kalli Nuddi 9500 feet
Total fall from bed of canal to bed of East

Kalli Nuddi 16.74 feet

Tail slope for escape head 1.00
Slope of channel @ 1.5 ft per mile 2.69
3.69


Balance - superfluous fall 13.05 feet
[table ends]

To which two masonry descents
each with a drop of 6 1/2 feet would
be required. The leading descent which
will, I imagine, be built near the
village of Futtipoor will have
the superpassage channel of the
main left Rajbuha attached to it
- the second fall will be established
near the village of Mootazabad
near the crest of the high land
on its descent into the valley of
the river. A width of water way
equal to 3 feet ought to be given
to the bridges which cross the escape.
The channel has been excavated
on a width of 50 feet and a bed
slope of 1.25 per mile. The soil is
of a tenacious quality, and as such
is very superior to that ^with which the
upper escape was a connection.

The head of this line of
escape forms a component part
of an extensive series of works
connected with the Moonda Khera
Bridge, its axis is separated
from that of the bridge by a
distance of 434 1/4 feet; it lies on the
left bank and is joined to the
bridge itself by a line of ghats
or steps, which meet the face of
the bridge in an ogee curve;
similar ghats and works of pro-
-tection to the right and opposite
side of the canal, are also built
in correspondence with those on
the left.
