Course Description

Basic concepts of soil, water, plants, their interactions, as well as irrigation systems and remote sensing techniques, planning and management will be covered in these three sections of the course, as these are vital information in agriculture world. The course will also include field visits of which the intensity will differ depending upon participants. By the end of the course, participants will develop analytical skills relevant to the areas of soil, plants, their interactions, particularly the design of pressure irrigation system projects, which are sprinkler and drip irrigation systems. 

Course Objectives

  • Applying suitable methods and criteria to the design of high efficiency irrigation systems.
  • Constructing, project and analyzing high efficiency irrigation systems and their components.
  • Comprehending the hydrologic cycle, its principles and process that is needed in order to effectively manage water resources through remote sensing techniques and high efficiency irrigation systems. 
  • Improving communication skills and instilling an awareness of a professional, ethical and social responsibility through discussing contemporary affairs.
  • Experiencing the use modern agricultural organizations and technologies especially including irrigation systems by visiting them in the field.
