大德八年，涇水暴漲，毀堰塞渠，陜西行省命屯田府總管夾谷伯顏帖木兒及涇陽尹王琚疏導之，起涇陽、高陵、三原、櫟陽用水人戶及渭南、櫟陽、涇陽三屯所人夫，共三千餘人興作，水通流如舊。 In Dade 8 the Jing River flooded, destroying the weir and blocking the canal. The Shaanxi Branch Secretariat ordered garrison-farmland director Jiagu Boyan Timur and Jingyang magistrate Wang Ju to dredge and clear it, mobilizing more than three thousand water-user households and garrison laborers from Jingyang, Gaoling, Sanyuan, Liyang, Weinan, and elsewhere until flow was restored.

至大元年，王琚為西臺御史，建言於豐利渠上更開石渠五十一丈，闊一丈，深五尺，積一十五萬三千工，每方一尺為一工。 In Zhida 1 Wang Ju, now Western Platform censor, proposed cutting a stone aqueduct fifty-one zhang above the Fengli Canal—one zhang wide, five chi deep—requiring one hundred fifty-three thousand work units at one unit per square chi.
