  • Summary

    Groundwater is of vital importance for agricultural irrigation. In almost all countries, a significant portion of irrigation water is derived from groundwater using wells. In developing countries where farm holdings are small, one well may suffice but a number of wells are used in large farms. This chapter discusses rudimentary aspects of groundwater and wells from the perspective of irrigation. Although the material covered in the chapter is based on gross simplifications, it has been found to be useful nonetheless for irrigation purposes.
