Water Resources and Hydraulic Infrastructures for Agricolture

An understanding of rainfall, runoff, evapotranspiration and water dynamics in soil and groundwater is essential for those involved in the science, engineering or management of land and environment. The course provides a conceptual and quantitative understanding of hydrology, as a basis for applied studies of water use in agriculture, water tresources conservation and flood protection. In addition the course describes the tools to design and manage a system of micro-irrigation, public and residential parks.

Students will acquire a solid method of hydrologic analysis and the fundamental tools and techniques for the analysis and solution of hydrological problems, including irrigation water demand estimation and flood protection. In addition students will acquire the knowledge needed to address and resolve design issues and management of micro-irrigation systems and the irrigation of public and residential parks. New skills will be acquired in CAD, hydrodynamics and hydraulic structures.
