specifically for the purposes of
drainage than for regulating sup-
-ply; its object is to provide relief
to certain low tracts of land on
the left of the canal bank, which
were previously to the excavation
of the canal, directly connected
with the drainage of the Rind,
but which have by the interposition
of embankments been cut off from
their natural watersheds. By a
series of cuts and works which have
been described elsewhere the whole
of the intercepted drainage is
brought to bear upon an excava-
-ted channel which commences
at a point above the Ginnowli
bridge, and from thence is carried
on a straight line to the valley
of the East Kalli Nuddi.
The necessity for connecting
the low lands in this neighbor-
-hood with the river above men-
-tioned, and the convenience to
the works of combining with the
channel excavated for the purpose
an escape [head, struck through] from the canal
bed to the erection of the Ginnowli
Escape Head. During the dry
season the channel is always
available for canal regulating
purposes; during the rains an
increased and regular supply
from the canal might maintain
a flow of water down the cut,
which would be very advantageous
for the purposes of scour, and for
ridding the channel of impedi-
ments.
The channel here, as in the
case of all those that have been
excavated for the purposes of escape,
[are struck through] is dependent for perfect efficieny
on the wear and tear of the current
