AbstractThis study consists of a brief discussions regarding hydraulic characteristics of an aglitter:, component parts , hydraulics of wells, different types of hand p umps in developing countries and its evaluation. The study was conducted mainly to collect available in formation in connect. ion with the design and construction of shallow tube wells for both drinking and irrigation purpose and how to utilize these evaluation in further ground water development is discussed. After analysis of the hydrological and geological condition of Nepal with the collected information from the study, it is found that the aquifer and water table is suitable for utilizing shallow tubewells for drinking and irrigation in a large to the Terai part of Nepal.
