Tbe diminution in area is ac
counted for by scanty storage
and decrease in receipts is
due to small amount of mis
cellaneous revenue earned.
Opportune rainfall caused a
diminution in the irrigated
area, both under kharif aud
rabi. The net revenue shows
a large deficit as a large
amount is still outstanding, to
recover which steps are being
taken in the Revenue Depart
ment.
Decrease in area irrigated is
due to scanty supply in the
Girna River and also to good
fall of rain.
The tank though empty in the
beginning of the year was
replenished on 29th June.
The rabi area was the highest
on record.
The area irrigated is the high
est on record since the open
ing of the canal. Rs. 1,112
were spent on the survey for
the extension of the canal.
On maintenance and repairs
an outlay of Rs. 2,873 was
incurred.
Decrease is due to timely rain
fall. Expenditure on " main
tenance and repairs was Rs.
2,196.
Water-supply fell short of the
demand for irrigation.
Short water-supply accounts for
decrease in the area irrigated,
These figures are for the year 1901-1902 only.
There was no water for khar
crops and during the ral
season all that was availabl
was not used. The expend!
tune on maintenance am
repairs was Rs. 283.
Decrease is due to insufficien
supply and favourable rain
fall. The operations of thi
year resulted in a loss of Rs,
756. Rs. 3,940 were expend
ed on maintenance anci
repairs.
