Casuarina Equisetifolia

Abstract

The casuarina plantation is of an irrigated nature; Water is being supplied from wells sunk inside the plantation at the rate of one well to irrigate every two acres. Because of the loose, porous sandy nature of the soil and the nearness to the river (Cavery and Coleroon) water is struck at a depth of from 8 to 10 feet from the ground level. A sort of crib-work is being put on the sides of the well to prevent the well being silted up constantly by the loose river sand from the sides.
