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.

The paper describes a field-oriented evaluation of the performance of eleven deep tubewell (DTW) based irrigation systems. In addition, the study served as a basis for developing a model that can be used in predicting the impact of various interventions (i.e., improvement of earth channels, lining of canals, upgrading on-farm water management practices, increase in pumping hours, etc.) on command area expansion. The methodology followed included intensive field data collection in five DTW command areas in Dhamrai (near Dhaka) and six DTW command areas in Thakurgaon (in northwest Bangladesh). Performance parameters utilized included conveyance, application, overall irrigation, unit, and pumping plant efficiencies. The impact of each of the interventions considered was then determined by comparing the predicted command under the modified system with that under the existing conditions. This, in turn, provides the necessary information for cost effectiveness analysis. The analysis indicates that DTW command areas could be increased significantly through measures including improvement of main and field channels, improvement of plot channels, better on-farm water management, land-levelling, and longer operating hours.

The paper first explains the work of the Irrigation Management Programme (IMP) that was established to improve the performance of irrigation systems. Then the author provides a case study evaluation of the performance of a particular IMP irrigation system based on the criteria the IMP program has established to assess the performance of an irrigation system. The author concludes that a system's performance largely depends on how the first two phases of planning and implementation are carried out. In addition, he suggests that a further key to improved performance for any irrigation system lies in its leadership and proposes that efforts be made to train and motivate farmers to foster good leadership.

With a total land area the size of the state of Illinois and a population exceeding 90 million, Bangladesh has one of the highest man-land ratios in the world. Blessed with vast river systems but having such a flat topography that large-scale reservoir and gravity surface irrigation systems are not feasible, Bangladesh has been forced to turn to groundwater as a source for dry season irrigation water. Initial investments were in low-lift pumps but now the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) is encouraging investment in hand pumps, shallow tubewells and deep tubewells as sources for additional water for irrigation. However, to date utilization rates have been far below those predicted by national planners. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the economics of alternative groundwater extraction devices in Bangladesh and to use their results to explain present low utilization rates. Using recent data, the analysis examines economic, social and technical characteristics of the alternative technologies and explains why shallow tubewells are to be encouraged over deep tubewells. Based on these results, suggestions for improving utilization rates are presented.
