At Deesa the water is drawn from deep wells sunk in the sand which here at-
tains a thickness of about 40 or 50 feet before water is reached. The water is
said to be of good quality, but as the wells are situated in the centre of the lines,
there is some danger of its becoming contaminated, and the wastage water renders
the ground in the vicinity of the barracks damp. The well from which the
Artillery draw their water is too near the horse lines. In January 1880 it con-
tained total solids 33 6 and chlorine 3 22 grains per gallon and free ammonia 04
and albuminoid ammonia 06 parts per million.
Thirty-two samples of water were examined at Mount Abu. The well within
the Railway enclosure at Abu Road Station was found to contain bad water, whilst
that from the well near the Rest Camp contained 52 5 grains of total solids and 8 68
grains of chlorine per gallon, but as the ammonia determinations were low, it
is classed as fair. The water in the well near the Rest Camp at Arna on the
top of the ghat is of good quality, and that supplied to the troops at the
Sanitarium is also fairly pure. The geological formation consists of granitic
rocks, and therefore we might expect to find good water. As, however, the
gathering ground of the well is partly inhabited, the greatest care is very properly
taken to keep it as clean as possible. The well near the Dilvara temple de-
mands particular attention, as the water in it is bad, the result,—in the opinion
of the Analyst, with which I concur,—of the large amount of filth in its immediate
vicinity caused by the large number of pilgrims who visit the temples and by
their objectionable practice of bathing and washing their clothes round the well.
