    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding

    In the original paper wraps. This report has some interesting provenance as it is from the library of Frederic Newhouse (1883-1969), sometime inspector-general of Egyptian irrigation in the Sudan. With his inscription to the front wrap. With a large folding diagram regarding flood levels and several in-text diagrams and tables. This report was issued as a part of a series of reports commissioned by the ‘Institution of Civil Engineers’. The Institution was the first professional engineering body and was formed during the late eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries. The ICE have issued numerous works over the years. This work looks at overflow weirs, flood estimates, and more.
