It appeared evident from the methodical manner in which irrigation was being conducted that the water was shared between the various holders, or perhaps villages or dans, according to some local definition. It is impossible to suppose that individual cultivators took what they wanted, without reference to their neighbours, so we must conclude, therefore, that some law or custom, unwritten probably, exists concerning water-rights. I have learned that disputes as to irrigation rights have led to quarrels and riot. It therefore recommends that the question of the distribution of water be investigated, and settled. As I imagine, at any time, established custom exists, then it should be conformed to.
