The Ganges Canal: A Discussion is a detailed historical account of one of India’s most important irrigation engineering projects. Written by Proby T. Cautley and Arthur Cotton, two prominent engineers of their time, this work provides an in-depth examination of the canal’s conception, design, and implementation.
The book explores the technical challenges overcome during construction, the canal’s role in transforming agricultural productivity in northern India, and its significance in British colonial infrastructure development. Through careful analysis and historical narrative, the authors discuss the engineering innovations that made this ambitious project possible and its lasting impact on the region’s economy and society.
This comprehensive work serves as both a historical record and a technical reference for understanding 19th-century canal engineering and irrigation development in India.
