Abstract
THE author of this publication, who was formerly Chief Engineer in the Public Health Department of the Government of Bengal, has embodied the results of his Indian experience and practice in diagrammatic form, using the coefficients which he has found most suitable for adoption with the classical formulæ of Manning and Kutter for discharges and velocity of flow in pipes and open channels, and the Francis formula for weirs. There are 41 full-page diagrams, approximately 9 in. by 6 in., dealing with this part of the subject, and thereafter five more diagrams relating to rainfall intensity, the relationship between rainfall and run-off and to flood discharges from catchment areas in India up to 1,000 square miles in extent.
