mdr and kdbar ; the soils called parwd and rdkar are merely modifications of 

 the generic terms dtimat and bhur. 



11. The power of irrigation varies like the soil from north to south : 



from the almost complete irrigation of the Ganges par- 

 ganas to the total absence of wells along the Jumna. 



12. During the current settlement, the character of the irrigation has 

 been enormously changed by the two branches of the Ganges Canal called the 

 Cawnpore and Etawah terminal branches. The Cawnpore division passes 

 through the Ganges-Pandu doab, a distributary running down the Pandu- 

 Rind Doab as far as pargana Jajmau. The Etawah division takes the line of 

 the Rind-Sengar doab, and heading the river Sengar tails into the Jumna at 

 Garantha : the last three miles are not dug, and the surplus water is discharged 

 into a ravine at Baksara. Numerous distributaries, large and small (rajbahas 

 and minors), bring the water within reach of a very large area, so that it is not 

 too much to say that the Ganges-Pandu doab as far as Cawnpore and the Rind- 

 Sengar doab as far as Akbarpur are thoroughly protected from drought. 

 Portions of pargana Rasulab&d, Shiurajpur south of the Pandu, Sarh Salempur 

 north of the Pandu, and a small area in Bhognipur east of the Sengar also 

 receive a considerable amount of water, whilst a new rajbaha included in the 

 system of the new Lower Ganges Canal has commenced to irrigate Ghutampur. 



13. The Lower Ganges Canal is to pass through the Rind- Pandu doab 

 for its entire length, a branch crossing the Rind and supplying the Etawah 

 terminal with water for a further extension of the Ghatampur line. At the 

 same time a large distributary will be brought into the Sengar-Jumna doab, 

 and thus the entire district, except the Ganges-Isan doab, will be brought 

 under canal irrigation. 



14. At present the irrigation is distributed as follows : 



That is to say, this is the distribution as classified by the settlement officers, 

 and on which their assessments are based.
