without interfering with the existing
foor regime. Is the problem now being
studied. Let us now see how the
available supply is utilized.
The systems or irrigation practiced
are the basin and perennial systems
Under the first the land receives one
annual fioodlng; under the second.
waterings proceed uninterruptediy
throughout the year. Basin irrigation
has been in existence some 1000
wears. and formerly was universal.
In 1920 perennial irrigation replaced
the Delta basins, and in 1878 reached
Middle Egypt. Since 1901 the con-
version of basins into perennial tracts
has been pushed vigorously and In
three years time only $4,000 acres
OF basins will be left in Egypt.
Regulating works to control the
levels in the parent rivers are al
most invariably necessity for any
successful perennial canal system.
Hence we find the rivers In India
studded with weirs and the Nile with
barrages. A barrage may be defined
as a viaduct on a massive masonry
aoor. having many openings Of small
snan fltted with gates. which can be
raised and lowered at viii. A we'll
designed barrage differs from a weir
in causing no appreciable rise In the
river level during flood. an important
consideration on the Nile, whose high
