At Kirkee the drinking water is obtained from the pipe from the Páshán
Canal; this is of good quality, but is said to become frequently turbid during
the rains. Khadakvaála water is also laid on to the lines of the Royal Engi-
neers at New Jhánsi.

The same as above
The men at the Sanitarium at Purandhar are supplied from wells.
At Sátára the water is obtained from a well near a nála. The land on the
higher levels is highly cultivated and manured, and when the Khas scheme is
completed, it will remove a source of danger to the troops.
At Kolhápur the water derived from wells in the laterite is of good quality.
At Belgaum the drinking water is obtained from wells sunk in the laterite.
It is of good quality.
At Aden condensed water is used by the troops for drinking purposes, of
which three gallons per head is allowed. It is of course very pure, but being
distributed in musucks, is liable to contamination.
The analyses show that however good a water may be at its source, it is
certain to become contaminated by the mode of distribution in force throughout
the Presidency. In every station visited by the Analyst it will be seen how impure
it is made by being conveyed in the leathern musucks used by Bhisties.
They also prove the efficiency of the Macnamara filters in removing
impurities from water. But too much reliance must not be placed on this, for
sometimes the leaden delivery pipe from the filter gets cracked across, as I found
in two instances at Mhow, and then the water is delivered straight from the tub
without passing through the filter. There appear to be no rules laid down re-
garding the dates on which filters are to be re-charged or from the source the
sand in them is to be obtained. These are much needed in my opinion.
