=nel, ever with the relief - offorded
by the Escapes, to render any
superfluous inlet ( especially
where such is avoidable) un=
=necessary.-

The works that come under
this section are distinctly inlets
for the reception of flood water
from extensive areas of country;
they are directly connected with
the excavated Channel, and they
are confirned entirely to the tract
lying above Roorkee. With the
exception of the Lounda Leni
wala and Kunkhul drainage
which, however is more connected
with shingle, than with sandy
bedded rivers, the water which
is admitted through these Inlets,
is that which falls upon wild
and uncultivated surfaces lying
at the foot of the Siwaliks, and
it is free from the sand and
silt which characterises the
Torrents whose heads
are within the mountains.

Of these works there are

five - viz. Width of Waterway

1st The Lounda Leni Wala Intel 50 feet

2nd The Kunkhul do 30 feet

3rd The Iowalapoor do 100 feet

4th The Selimpoor do 150 feet

5th The Badshapoor do 50 feet

With the exception of the
work at Kunkhul which varies
in some respects, the design of
these inlets is uniform : it is a
combination of Ghat or stairs with a
Passage for the Inlet of floods
the plight of steps being available
for access to the Canal water for
bathing
