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.

The paper examines alternative policies for achieving more efficient resource utilization in the Indus Basin. Using a simulation model which links the hydrology of a conjunctive stream aquifer system to an economic model of agricultural production for each of 53 regions of the basin together with a network model of the flows in river reaches, link canals and irrigation canals throughout the basin, the authors have studied the joint effect of various canal water allocation and associated private tubewell pumping control policies on overall system efficiency. The results suggest that large gains in agricultural production are possible given more efficient policies. However, there are significant adjustment costs in the form of large required drainage investments. The model was then adapted to assess sequentially a proposed investment program of the Water and Power Development Authority of Pakistan. The program components were aggregated into homogenous sets and evaluated. The report concludes with a discussion of the results of this exercise.

The paper explores the relationship between investment in irrigation and the creation of community property in irrigation systems. The ownership of the hydraulic property and responsibility for sustaining it are held in common in many successful small-scale irrigation systems. Investments to create irrigation facilities always create or rearrange property relationships. Therefor, irrigation investment ought to proceed in a manner which creates property for the group that will operate and maintain the irrigation facilities. This gives the incentives to the appropriate group to sustain the property.

Presents a review of the research discussed in the previous chapters. The paper then raises issues that need further research in order to reach better sustainability of irrigation projects. The author concludes with a short discussion of several key policy recommendations that can be drawn from past research and experience.
