Groundwater has been noted as a major resource for irrigation water in Nepal Terai. The development of different methods of groundwater withdrawal has been promoted in Rupandehi District. Open dug wells were a major source for domestic water use in the 1980s due to cost and ease of construction. ...

The impact of shallow subsurface drainage was investigated as a pilot study on a 0.13 ha plot of a farmer's field located in Batiaghata, Khulna District, Bangladesh, in the floodplain of the Bay of Bengal. The drainage design differed from traditional subsurface tile drains in two respects: (i) t...

A large number of small- to medium-sized community ponds exist in most parts of the Terai region in Nepal. Such ponds could be a viable alternative for other forms of surface irrigation. But, with the lack of efficient management, many of these ponds remain underutilized. An effort was made to fa...

Center pivot and linear move irrigation systems’ design and operation are primarily limited by soil infiltration rates. Surface runoff can be a problem on some soils whose in-take rates are low. Additional design and management factors must be considered to prevent runoff in these systems. Boom s...
