TABLE XII. 



Results of the analyses of 28 samples of water in Delhi and in three adjacent towns 

 with reference to the degree of Hardness and quantity of Chlorine. 



TABLE XIII. 



Result of analyses of some Delhi waters subsequent to the rainy season. 



* With the view to avoid the expense of making special filter-beds in connection with the proposed Water- 

 works at Delhi, the plan of sinking wells in the bed of the river Jumna, and thus eflEecting the filtration of the 

 water at its source, has been proposed. It would appear, however, from this analysis that the soil in the bed of 

 the river through which the water percolates into the wells, instead of improving the water, tends to assimilate 

 it to that of the wells within the town, as may be observed by comparing the results of this analysis with those of 

 the four analyses of Jumna water from different places in Table XII.
