Description

  • English Description

    Revision of on-farm irrigation systems. Planning and design of new trends in on-farm irrigation systems: Surge surface irrigation, Subsurface irrigation, Subsurface trickle irrigation. Irrigation system control: Concentration control (injection and mixing), Hydraulic control (discharge and pressure measurements, use of control valves: close, air, wash, pressure relief, constant pressure, constant discharge, non-return, sustaining pressure). Design and construction of lined irrigation canals. Managements and administrative aspects: Stages of irrigation projects, Economics of irrigation systems and feasibility study.
