agricultural hydraulics course
Gain mastery in agricultural hydraulics for efficient maize irrigation. Learn to select appropriate pump and pipe sizes, compute flow rates, pressure requirements, and crop evapotranspiration (ETc), evaluate drip versus sprinkler systems, and develop weekly irrigation plans that reduce water consumption, lower energy costs, and prevent yield reductions. This course provides practical tools to optimise farm water management and boost productivity.

What will I learn?
This Agricultural Hydraulics 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 configure tank head and pump pressure. Acquire straightforward, step-by-step techniques to minimise water wastage, control energy expenses, and sustain crop yields during high-demand seasons through informed, data-driven choices.
