Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find the condition of the existing irrigation system and its impact on the
agricultural production and cropping intensity of Kohat District. The condition of the existing irrigation system was
surveyed in detail. According to the observation carried out, it was concluded that, the design discharge of the existing
outlets “pipe outlets of non-modular” type is not appropriate, therefore, Open Flume Outlets (OFM) were proposed for
the research area. The existing condition of the canal and distributaries were also studied. The irrigation system was
proposed to be remodeled in order to increase the agricultural productivity.
