India - Uttar Pradesh Public Tubewells Project
Feifer, Chris Naschak
The project would support the construction of 500 public tubewells of three basic alternative designs in 12 Districts of the State of Uttar Pradesh over a two-year period, with the objective of demonstrating and evaluating the relative merits of a number of technical and operational improvements to the design of existing tubewell systems in the State. The twelve districts represent the full range of agro-climatic conditions in the state. A small fund for preparation of a second-stage project to introduce new tubewell designs throughout the state would also be provided under the project. The project would expand the irrigated area in Uttar Pradesh significantly and would result in increased foodgrain, sugarcane, and oilseed production.
