What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to design and manage effective irrigation systems for a 5-hectare field. You will learn to calculate crop evapotranspiration, plan irrigation schedules, determine pipe sizes, compute flow rates, and adjust tank head and pump pressure. Acquire straightforward, step-by-step techniques to minimise water wastage, control energy expenses, and maintain consistent crop yields during high-demand seasons through informed, data-driven choices.
