Description from the Original
Photograph of the head of Ganges Canal, Haridwar from the Elgin Collection: 'Spring Tours 1894-98'. This is a view looking towards canal works at the head of the Ganges Canal at Haridwar in Uttar Pradesh. This is a later print (1890s) of a Samuel Bourne photograph. The Upper Ganges Canal was built in 1854; it carries water from the Himalayan snowmelt, diverted into the canal by a dam and provides irrigation for the surrounding land.
