Article Synopsis
- South Asia typically has a rainfall pattern with a dry season after the monsoon, making irrigation essential for crop productivity, especially in southern Bangladesh.
- Recent government initiatives aim to expand surface water irrigation to alleviate groundwater pressure in northern intensively farmed areas.
- This paper introduces a fluid mechanics-based method for evaluating surface water irrigation pumps, tailored for resource-limited settings and validated through field tests in Bangladesh.
