that of the sill level, in which
a supply of water will pass
down the canal irrespective of
sluices. At the Dhunouri
works however, we have to observe
the effects arising from two large
volumes of water meeting at
right angles in the centre of
the confined area lying between
the flanks of the dams; that
from the torrent passing with
a velocity due to a slope of
8.23 feet per mile, that from
the canal channel which will
include the drainage from all
the inlets below the Myapoor
Regulating Bridge (relieved only
by the Kinkul Escape and that
attached to the Bahadoorabad
Mill Channel) running with
a velocity due merely to 1 1/4 feet,
I may observe that the antici-
-pated consequences may be
a retention on high levels of that
volume which flows with the
least velocity, in other words
that the repidly running torrent
which crosses the canal channel
will retain in a measure the
body of water that comes down
the canal; that this latter will
find a vent, with considerable
action on the works round the
left ^[or north] flank of the dam, with
a proportionate regurgitation
in the area lying on the opposite
side of the canal channel and
under the left ^[or north] revetments of the
inlet. It is impossible to say
to what extent this action of the
water may [lend, struck through] lead to the depostion
of silt, but in anticipating the
action
