Economic and technical criteria for location of deep and shallow tubewells: a consultancy report

Abstract

This work is a continuation of research on tubewells in Bangladesh that was started in 1984 when the author was asked to study the Deep Tubewell Irrigation and Credit Program (DTICP) under the auspices of the Irrigation Water Management Program of BARC and IADS. Published results of that study are available from BARC-IADS. The author drew conclusion that a study of tubewells had to include STWs, hand operated, and DTWs tubewells in order to address the full range of policy issues.
