Good management of the rivers was (and is) important for the discharge of excess water. Major hydraulic engineering works were constantly required and that is why a committee was set up to report on how to handle this. This is an augmented copy of this report with some annotations/corrections in ms. Inscribed on the title-page as 'present exemplaar des koning's' (?). At the end copies are added in manuscript of 2 royal decrees, dated March 15th 1821 and Dec. 9th 1825, both signed by (Jacques Jean) Quarles van Ufford (1788-1855), who in 1825 became secretary general at the Ministry of the Navy and Colonies. - Kemper 1385.€ 200
