Irrigation is the lifeline of agriculture in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a land of mighty, rivers and innumerable tributaries, heavy rainfall and recurring floods. Yet, irrigation plays a vital role in this country for half of the year when water scarcity seriously handicaps farming operation

BADC is responsible for supply and operation of various irrigation equipments, viz, low-lift pumps and tube wells. Mechanised irrigation was first introduced in this country in 1951 with the operation of three low-life pumps in haor areas. After its establishment, BADC took over the responsibility of irrigation through low-lift pumps or what is popularly called power pumps. Since then big strides have been made by BADC in popularising low-lift pumps throughout the country.
