Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the knowledge of hydraulics and soil hydrology necessary to tackle problems of sustainable use of water resources in agricultural systems. Specifically, the objectives are to provide the tools and skills to:
· apply the laws governing the motion of water with particular reference to pipelines under pressure and free surface channels;
· carry out simple design calculations relating to the sizing and hydraulic verification of pressurized pipes and open channels and the design of irrigation systems for agriculture and public and private green areas;
Expected learning outcomes
- Knowledge of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics of currents in uniform motion, and ability to apply them to the verification and hydraulic design of simple infrastructures, artifacts and systems.
- Technical Knowledge related to irrigation systems and methods and to the hydraulic design elements of irrigation systems. Knowledge of general hydrology and of the main tools and techniques for dealing with problems of water use for irrigation purposes, of hydraulic defense of the territory and of safeguarding of water resources.
- Knowing how to deal with and solve problems of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics of currents in uniform motion and be able to apply them to the verification and hydraulic design of simple infrastructures, artifacts and systems.
- Knowing how to deal with problems of using water for irrigation purposes and safeguarding water resources.
