At Devlli the water is derived from wells. The water is said to be pure and
wholesome, but to run dry during the hot weather.
At Ahmednagar the troops are supplied with water brought into Camp
through old native aqueducts from wells situated near the base of the surround-
ing hills. The European troops obtain their water from the Bhingr and Sh-
hpur aqueducts, but the latter source dries up during the hot weather.
The water at each source is of excellent quality, as will be seen by the ana-
lysis, which is as follows :-

The water from the Shhpur aqueduct flows into an open tank between the
Infantry Barracks and the officers' houses, from whence it is drawn by Bhisties,
whilst the Bhingar aqueduct supplies the Artillery Barracks.
It is much to be lamented that water brought into Camp in a pure
state should not reach the men in an equally pure condition but that its quality
should be deteriorated by the objectionable mode of distribution, by leaves,
dust, &c., blowing into the tank. As recommended in my report on this station
in 1876, this tank should be covered and the water pumped up for distribution
to each set of barracks.
Another source of danger is that, the aqueducts on their way into Camp
have been broken into by villagers, &c. This practice should be rigorously
dealt with, as by it dangerous impurities may easily find their way into the water-
supply.
