Cloth. Zustand: Good. None (illustrator). First edition. A very scarce and fascinating insight into the plans and calculations for one of the world's largest irrigation projects, The Gezira Scheme. Two very scarce first edition publications on the availability and requirements of water for the Gezira irrigation scheme, composed by Sir Murdoch MacDonald, who was responsible for the first stages of this scheme and went on to become adviser to Egypt's Minister of Public Works.Accompanying the text volume discussing water needs is a volume of calculations, tables and charts concerning water supply, illustrated with nine plates, three of which are folding.The Gezira Scheme, one of the world's largest irrigation projects, was started by the British while the area was governed as a part of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. It involves water from the Blue Nile being distributed through canals and ditches to tenant farms lying between the Blue and White Nile rivers, for the purposes of growing cotton.This title was published as a part of a series of reports commissioned by the 'Ministry of Public Works, Egypt', and issued during the British Occupation period. The Egyptian Department of Public works was established in the early 19th century and concentrated on works relating to irrigation and hydraulic engineering. It became the most respected engineering entity and regarded as a fantastic school for civil engineers in modern Egypt.From the library of Frederic Newhouse (1883-1969), sometime inspector-general of Egyptian irrigation in the Sudan, and with his contemporary inscription to the head of the front wraps, dated 1919. In the publisher's original quarter cloth bindings, with paper wraps. Contemporary inscription to head of front wrap. Small tear to tail of 'Computations' front wrap. Spots to 'Computations' rear wrap. Internally, firmly bound. Spotting to title page, but pages otherwise clean. Good. book.

Newhouse Esg. Khartoum, with the authors' compliments' to the head of the front wrap. This work is from the library of Frederic Newhouse (1883-1969), sometime inspector-general of Egyptian irrigation in the Sudan.Illustrated with a folding plate featuring graphs displaying quantities of discharge from the Nile.This work discusses the methods of measuring the discharge and volume of water flowing through the Nile in the region of the Assuan - or Aswan - dam, a gravity masonry buttress dam found to be inadequate for development needs and raised nine metres between 1929 and 1933 under the supervision of MacDonald.This work also contains an excerpt of proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Vol. ccxii, Session 1920-1921, Part II. This is a very scarce publication from the Institution, the first professional engineering body formed in the early nineteenth century, and one of many works published by them.

Murdoch (1866-1957) a civil engineer, assistant engineer on the first Aswan Dam project, director-general of irrigation for the Egyptian Government, subsequently Under Secretary of State for Public Works, and finally adviser to Egypt's Minister of Public Works, served in Egypt for 23 years. He was responsible for the planning and completion of overall drainage schemes for lower Egypt which finally dealt with about 3,000,000 acres. He also designed the Sennar Dam on the Blue Nile, and put into operation the first stages of the Gezira irrigation schemes for the conversion of virgin land in the Sudan for cotton growing. His detailed report, Nile Control, published in 1920, was an early valuable guide to the effective water resource management of the Nile.
