AGM 3224: Design of irrigation systems

Well come to this module.

This course is about the design of irrigation system. An agricultural engineer  sould be set to support the agricultural activity through devising solution that apply the engineering principle. Water is the basic for agriculture and the engineer has to be with skills and aptitude to design the irrigation systems appropriate to various farming, climate, land and economic conditions. 

An adequate water supply is important for plant growth. When rainfall is not sufficient, the plants must receive additional water from irrigation. Various methods can be used to supply irrigation water to the plants. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. These should be taken into account when choosing the method which is best suited to the local circumstances.

In this line the module of Design of irrigation systems is administered to the year 3 class of Agricultural engineering in Agricultcural mechanization program. 

The module is made up of two main component : 

1. Design of surface irrigation system

2. Design of pressurized irrigation system 

It will be studied in the second trimester starting from march 2019. 

For learning objective, learning strategy, covered contents and assessment strategy are described later.

Wishing you  a fruit full assimilation.
