To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No one is permitted to appropriate more than he actually requires, and no diversion can be made from a stream unless the matter is thoroughly examined by the water commissioners, and its effect on prior appropriators clearly shown. There is no such thing as unlicensed diversion or appropriation of the public waters, and no waste or extravagance is permitted in their use. Similar laws prevail in France, Italy and Algeria. There is a complete and thorough administrative system in all those countr...ies, and a man can no more appropriate and convert to his own use large quantities of water than he can large bodies of land. The jurisdiction of the State over the former, and the laws regulating its use and defining its ownership, are as comprehensive as those relating to the latter. In India, the entire system of waterways and works is under control of the Government, and the laws and usages controlling its appropriation and distribution are as perfect as the experience of centuries can make them.
