“In the case of the three projects the aggregate _rabi_ area receiving perennial irrigation as shown by the table, paragraph 21[49] _supra_, is 1,164,595 acres: this is 2·96 times 393,649; so that the proportional supply required on this basis would be slightly less than that given by the multiplier 3 in the above table. [49] Not printed. The area is the total rabi area less the area which is to receive only first waterings. In explanation of the difference of the duties:-- Lower Chenab Canal 208 acres per cusec, Upper Bari Doab Canal 234 ditto, it may be stated that the Lower Chenab Canal is a comparatively new work, and that the duty has been steadily rising and, with the perfect watercourse system, may be relied on to reach the Upper Bari Doab Canal 234 acres per cusec in the course of time for water arriving at the heads of distributaries. * * * * * “27. =Summary of conclusions as to sufficiency of supply.=--The following table shows all the foregoing results in a form readily admitting of comparison:-- ----------+----------------------------------------------------------+ PARTIC- | PERIOD. | ULARS. +---------+--------+-------+-----+------+---------+--------+ | 1st to | 6th to | Novem-| De- | Janu-| Febru- | March. | | 15th | 31st | ber. | cem-| ary.| ary. | | | October.|October.| | ber.| | | | | | | | | | | | ----------+---------+--------+-------+-----+------+---------+--------+ | Cusecs. | Cusecs.|Cusecs.| Cu- | Cu- | Cusecs. | Cusecs.| | | | |secs.| secs.| | | AVERAGE | | | | | | | | SUPPLIES | | | | | | | | AVAILABLE.| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Very fa- | | | | | | | | vourable |{ 21,400 | 15,150 |}11,850|8,626|11,200|{ 13,100 | 21,250 | years 1 |{(13.063)|(13,063)|} | | |{(13,063)|(13,063)| in 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinary |{ 13,900}| 11,850 | 10,000|7,400| 7,600| 9,100 |{16,500 | years 2 |{ 13,063}| | | | | |{13,063 | in 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dry years | 10,150 | 9,100 | 7,275 |5,950| 5,610| 6,100 | 11,345 | 1 in 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
