This paper deals with irrigation in India and Egypt, the two schools in which hitherto all British irrigation engineers have got their practical training. The subject of India has been dealt with by Mr. R. B. Buckley, C. S. I., M. Inst. C. E., late Chief Engineer of Bengal, as his experience of Indian irrigation is longer, wider and more recent than the writer's. As a consequence of the difference that exists in the climatic conditions of the two countries, there is a corresponding difference in the system of canal administration. There is so little rain in Egypt that without irrigation there can be no crops. In India, on the other hand, the rainfall, though precarious, is, in some seasons and in certain localities, sufficient for the crops.
