What will I learn?
This course provides hands-on skills for designing and managing efficient irrigation systems on a 5-hectare field. You'll learn to calculate crop evapotranspiration, plan irrigation schedules, select pipe sizes, determine flow rates, and configure tank heads and pump pressures. Acquire straightforward, step-by-step techniques to minimize water waste, control energy expenses, and sustain crop yields under high demand through informed, data-driven choices.
