Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A survey was conducted to assess the present utilization of available water resources during rice and wheat crop seasons, and identify ways for enhancing their utilization and to assess the present level of irrigated rice and wheat production and to determine their cost benefit. The base line survey was conducted during rabi season, 1999 in selected study areas of Chuadanga. The study was in the Chuadanga Sadar thana at Sankarchandra village. Three groups of farmers’ (large, medium, small) were selected. In each group, 5 farmers were considered for interview. In addition, information were generated from the manager of the pump unit which used by the interviewed farmers. Moreover, secondary data were collected from the DAE and BADC sources of the study location.In Chuadanga sadar thana crops are produced both in irrigated and rainfed conditions. About 51% of area under irrigation which is quite higher than the national average (34%). Major crops grown under irrigated condition were boro rice, T. Aman rice and wheat. The comparative operation of number of irrigation devices and the area coverage under boro season for the year of 1998 and 1999 in Chuadanga.
