Irrigation on the 'border' or 'compartment' method [probably Mhow district]. Photographer: Uppadine, A. D.
Scope & Content:
Genre: Landscape Photography 'One section of the field (ten feet square) is watered at a time. The water flows evenly from a well perhaps 200 yards away. Here the woman is opening the bund of the last section.'
Women carrying cotton from field to village. These huge loads are too heavy for one person to lift, but once on their heads, these are carried long distances [probably Mhow district]. Photographer: Uppadine, A. D.
The head of the well [probably at Mhow]. Photographer: Uppadine, A. D.
Scope & Content:
'As the self-delivery tube of the charsa (leather bucket) empties the water, the log (a date-palm trunk) steadies the flow of water and evens the rate of flow in the irrigation duct. The thick rope lifts the bucket. The thin one pulls forward the tube at the top of the bucket's rise.'
