Bellasis is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work focuses primarily on the design, management, and improvement of irrigation systems, particularly in India, which is considered to have some of the largest and most effective irrigation canals in the world. The book aims to provide invaluable insights and guidelines to engineers working on irrigation projects. The opening of the book introduces the fundamental principles that govern the design and operation of irrigation works. It highlights the significance of perennial canals fed by rivers, particularly in Northern India. Bellasis begins by explaining various types of canals, their construction, and the essential components such as headworks and distributaries necessary for effective irrigation. His detailed discussion sets a comprehensive foundation for future chapters that promise to delve deeper into canal design, operational mechanics, and proposed improvements, while also referencing historical engineering rules and experiences.
