Excerpt from Indian Storage Reservoirs With Earthen Dams: Being a Practical Treatise on Their Design and ConstructionThe book is intended to be entirely practical, and, I believe, covers ground which has not been occupied before, as descriptive engineering works dealing with a variety of subjects do not usually go into complete detail in respect to any one of them. It has been my object to treat this one class of work as exhaustively as possible, so that an engineer not previously acquainted with it should, after studying these pages, be able to design correctly, and to construct securely, a storage reservoir with an earthen dam.I am indebted to the Institution of Civil Engineers for permission to make free use of Paper No. 2996, which I contributed to Volume CXXXII. Of their Minutes of Proceedings, and of another Paper, which was not published, both of which deal with the same subject. I am also much obliged to Sir Thomas Higham, and to Mr. R. B. Buckley, for permission to make use of their books. I have acknowledged in the text my obligations to the other authorities whom I have consulted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
