Abstract: Water is very important in our life without water human beings we cannot survive. Water is needed in agricultural field, industrial field and in daily use. In agricultural field micro irrigation is very important it saves much water; Micro irrigation has received much attention from the policy makers and others for its perceived ability to improve water productivity. Realising the significance of using micro irrigation system as a demand management strategy, an attempt has been made in this chapter to examine the social benefit-cost analysis of drip irrigation. As found in many earlier studies, the drip irrigation resulted in significant increase in yield over the flood method of irrigation. Therefore, we decided to do drip irrigation design and cost analysis of PVC pipes and flexi lay flat pipes in area of “Genba Sopanrao Moze Institute of Technology” of size55.5×72.5 m we did design, cost analysis and as well as comparison between ISI(subsidized) and NON-ISI (non-subsidized) which sufficient, economical for farmers and easy to install. As we get result that lay flat pipes are more economical than PVC pipes, If PVC pipes of size of 800µ (micron) are used government grant them subsidy, if pipe size is less than 800µ (micron) government did not grant the subsidy. Generally, farmers accept Subsidized Rigid lateral and PVC pipes because government approve them subsidy and it has more life then lay flat but government does not allow subsidy above 10 ha. And subsidy process is to late farmers has to pay first and government return them 50% subsidy but it takes 6 months. As we compare cost of two pipes of drip irrigation system we got cost difference of 44% of total amount.
