Description
This detailed report chronicles the Ganges Canal Works from their commencement through the official opening in 1854. Authored by Proby T. Cautley, a pioneering engineer, the work provides an authoritative account of one of the largest irrigation projects undertaken during the British colonial period in India.
The publication documents the technical challenges, engineering innovations, and organizational efforts required to construct this monumental canal system. It includes comprehensive details about the design, construction phases, labor deployment, and resource allocation that made the canal operational. The third edition preserves important historical information about 19th-century Indian engineering achievements and colonial infrastructure development.
This work serves as both a historical record and technical documentation, invaluable for historians, engineers, and those studying the development of irrigation systems in South Asia and colonial India’s infrastructure history.
