The Ganges-Kobadak (G-K) Project is the largest surface irrigation system in Bangladesh. The study evaluated the performance of the system keeping in mind the objectives of the project to (1) increase food production, (2) control floods, (3) improve the drainage system of the area, (4) improve cropping patterns and intensity, and (5) improve the socio-economic conditions of the farmers. The methodology followed was an intensive survey approach. The performance parameters selected were pumping plant, conveyance, on-farm water use, and command area efficiencies; adoption of high yielding varieties and input use; and benefit-cost ratios of cropping patterns. Results indicate that pumping plant, conveyance, and kharif II command area efficiencies are relatively high, while on-farm water use and kharif I command area efficiencies were much lower. Both HYV adoption and input use were higher in 1984 than in 1983. Finally, benefit-cost ratios of selected cropping patterns ranged between 4.85 and 2.77 depending on whether recommended or farmers' management practices were followed.
