To remove the water from the reser
voir the best plan is1 to use lap weld
steam pipe provided with an elbow and
laid with the mouth of the elbow level
with the bottom of the reservoir and
facing tip. This i:s closed with a plug to
which a long T handle is attached. The
cut represents a cross section of reservoir
with plug inserted in the discharge pipe.
The end of the pipe where the plug is
inserted should be thoroughly imbedded
in a large mass of cement heavy enough
to prevent it from being shaken when
the plug is taken out or inserted." A res
ervoir with sloping sides should have
an outlet at the junction of the sides
and lx)ttom, and it will be necessary to
build a pier out to it in order to reach
the plug.
A reservoir 4 feet deep and 40 feet in
diameter will hold water enough to ir
rigate 0.35 acre 4 inches deep and 0.G9
acre 2 inches deep and 100 feet in di
ameter will irrigate 4.02 and 2. 16 acres
2 and 4 inches deep respectively.
