What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to design and manage effective irrigation systems for a 5-hectare farm. You'll master estimating crop water needs via evapotranspiration, scheduling irrigation, sizing pipes and pumps, calculating flows, and balancing tank heads with pressures. Follow straightforward steps to cut water waste, control energy expenses, and ensure steady crop yields under high demand through smart, data-driven choices.
