About this title

Synopsis

Explore the engineering behind Punjab’s shifting rivers and the works that tame them, from embankments to canals and gauges.

This edition presents a practical description of the shifting rivers of the Punjab plains and the works built to regulate them, including inundation canals, flood embankments, and river training methods. It also covers the principles used to design and operate these systems in real-world settings.

The book combines historical context with technical detail to show how engineers plan, monitor, and adjust flood defenses. It emphasizes how embankments, regulator structures, and canal banks interact, and it explains the reasoning behind regular gauge readings and phased improvements. Readers will gain insight into the everyday challenges of keeping irrigation and flood control aligned with a dynamic landscape.

Understand how flood embankments and canals are designed to work together for safety and water supply
Learn how gauges are placed, moved, and interpreted in shifting river conditions
See practical notes on section, alignment, and cross-section choices for embankments and regulators
Discover the decision-making processes used by engineers to update plans and track progress

Ideal for readers interested in irrigation history, civil engineering, and regional water-management practices.
