7. =Serious Breaches.=--In case of serious breaches of main channels the Subdivisional Officer to himself reach the spot as soon as possible. 8. =Breach Reports.=--See printed form M[62] attached. To be promptly submitted for each breach to the Executive Engineer. The report contains a column for cost of closure. This means the stoppage of the flow and not the complete making up of the banks. The column for remarks of the Executive Engineer should be filled in and the report promptly returned to the Subdivisional Officer, who will, in the meantime, be making up the banks and preparing a requisition or estimate. [62] Not printed. 9. =Progress Report.=--With the Executive Engineer’s monthly progress report a list of breaches will be submitted, canal by canal, with columns showing date of occurrence and cost of closure. The return should be on the attached form G.[63] The Subdivisional Officer should also submit this form to the Executive Engineer. [63] Not printed. The form differs slightly from a form prescribed by the Chief Engineer for general use in the Province. 10. =Estimates.=--The cost of breaches is not to be charged to maintenance estimates. At the close of each month the Executive Engineer should submit or sanction an estimate, accompanied by the breach reports, for closing any breaches which have occurred and making up the banks. 11. =Breaches in the Flooded Area near Canal Heads.=--These may be of special importance. It may be impossible to do any good and money may be uselessly spent. In any such cases the Subdivisional Officer should at once proceed to the spot and the case should be reported by wire to the Executive Engineer and, if necessary, to the Superintending Engineer. 12. =Breaches in Flood Embankments.=--The Subdivisional Officer must at once proceed to the spot and the case be reported by wire to the Executive Engineer and Superintending Engineer. The Breach Report forms can be submitted partially filled in at the earliest possible moment and a complete form afterwards. APPENDIX E. SPECIFICATION FOR BUSHING. (See page 139.) 1. The object of bushing is to form a silt berm and thus prevent or stop the falling in of the banks. 2. The branches must be thickly packed in order that the water among them may become still, and also in order that they may not be shifted by the stream. If thickly packed, the pegs required will also be fewer. Most of the branches should be leafy and freshly cut, but, mixed with these, there may be a proportion of kikar or other leafless branches. Frequently it is possible to utilise jungle trees of small value, bushes, scrub jungle, or even long grass. 3. Except when the bushes are to be very small or the length to be bushed very short, the proposed line for the edge of the berm should be marked out by long stakes driven in the water at fairly close intervals. Otherwise the work may be badly done and the berm formed imperfect and out of line.
