Groundwater represents a vitally important resource for Bangladesh for its irrigation development. Great efforts are now underway to increase irrigated acreage by employing a mix of three major types of tubewell systems--deep, shallow and hand tubewells. This paper attempts to analyze the past trends of development of groundwater irrigation as well as a number of relevant policy issues to the groundwater development for irrigation, such as the gap between the potential and actual use of the capacity of the different tubewell systems; The rate of groundwater withdrawal that can be sustained on a long term basis; The recently adopted "privatization" policy of the government ; And the choice of scale in the promotion of the different types of tube well systems. Finally, a number of areas with problems are identified and immediate actions needed to solve these problems are understood.
