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.

This research program was funded by USAID, organized by CSU and sent out to identify good investments for developing countries in water management. Loss of almost half of the water from watercourses was identified as a primary waste of irrigation water which is a limiting factor in crop production in Pakistan. Physical causes of the loss were identified as high porosity of upper portions of the banks due to burrowing of soil for weekly construction of dams, and rising levels of water in the watercourse due to vegetative growth and sedimentation. Difficulty in organizing farmers to accomplish regular cleaning and repair was identified as an underlying sociologic cause of the loss. Experimental masonry and concrete watercourses were built by the government and given to the farmers. They were too expensive to provide a nationwide solution. The farmers did not appreciate and maintain them because they had no investment therein. Other lined watercourses on which the government paid for materials and the farmers provided labor were better appreciated and maintained, but took longer to build and still required large amounts of cement and were too costly for a national program. Cooperative improvement of the earthen channels by the farmers with the government providing the materials and design for concrete control structures at the junctions was developed as a program which had a benefit:cost ratio of at least 3 to 1 and was eagerly accepted by the farmers in a study which involved a series of case histories. Subsequent studies indicated that a good and regular cleaning and repair program would save almost as much water and provide higher benefits with much lower government input. However, the watercourse improvement plan with its concrete control structures was more eagerly accepted by the farmers. Full benefits of the improvement were obtained only by those farmers who organized themselves to clean and maintain their watercourses regularly.

Five Pakistan watercourse systems, selected from various areas of the Indus Basin, were evaluated during complete irrigation turn rotations while operating normally. This allowed quantification of the various types of water losses, including transient condition losses such as dead storage, bank wash-outs, outlet leakage, and high initial seepage into dry channel banks.

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.
