Learning objectives
The course has the main objective to train students to develop knowledge of collective and on-farm irrigation systems, with particular attention to high-efficiency irrigation systems (sprinkler and micro-irrigation). In particular, the course will address the following topics: components of on-farm irrigation systems and their management and maintenance, criteria for choosing the proper irrigation method and system taking into account the farm-specific conditions, general and hydraulic design of on-farm irrigation systems and evaluation of their irrigation efficiency.
Expected learning outcomes
The student will be able to find and process data needed for the design of on-farm irrigation systems, to perform the general and hydraulic design of the systems, also using calculation and GIS/CAD tools. The student will acquire skills for assessing technical and economic implications of the project implementation, will be able to consult technical and scientific material concerning the irrigation sector and to discuss it by using appropriate sector terminology.
