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 is based on experience gained by the author while evaluating the socio-economic impact of the International Development Agency (IDA) Shallow Tubewells (STW) Project in northwest Bangladesh. The objectives of the evaluation were to: (1) assess direct and indirect financial benefits; (2) examine the effectiveness of the improved repair and maintenance facilities provided under the project; and (3) identify socio-economic characteristics of the beneficiaries. However, during the course of the evaluation other objectives were added: (4) establish total STW installation and evolution of sales under IDA credit; (5) assess institutional and organizational development; (6) determine technical aspects of STW problems and remedial measures; and (7) examine policy implications arising out of the study. The methodology employed for the study included three phases: (1) a statistical survey by district to establish total STW installation, evolution of sales, cropped area, production, and production systems; (2) an interview questionnaire covering about 200 wells involving 4,000-6,000 farmers to establish a sample frame for detailed questioning; and (3) an in-depth questioning of about 500 farmers under 40 to 50 wells plus a number of farmers outside STW schemes.Simple statistical tools were used in the data analysis and financial and economic analyses were employed to calculate net incremental benefits for the individual crops as well as for the entire crop sector. The final section of the paper discusses the results of the evaluation and the implications for future decision making.

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.

Paper investigates and estimates the welfare loss due to monopoly in tubewell irrigation water market in Bangladesh. In this context, an attempt has been made to evaluate the efficacy of the landless irrigation groups. Using cross-sectional data and regression analysis, cost and demand functions for irrigation water are estimated. The study demonstrates the relatively superior performance of the landless groups in terms of economic efficiency in shallow tubewell irrigation operation, in comparison to irrigation operation by the landowners.
