This collection, "Papers Relating To The Orissa Canals. 1869 To 1877 And 1881 To 1883", offers a detailed historical record of the planning, construction, and early operation of the canal system in Orissa, India. Compiled by the government of Bengal, the papers provide valuable insights into the engineering challenges, administrative decisions, and socio-economic impacts of a major irrigation project during the late 19th century.
Researchers and historians interested in the history of civil engineering, water management, colonial India, and the development of irrigation systems will find this a vital resource. The documents shed light on the complex interplay between technological innovation, governmental policy, and local communities in shaping the landscape and economy of the region.
