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'll master estimating crop evapotranspiration, scheduling irrigation, sizing pipes, calculating flow rates, and determining tank head and pump pressure. Follow 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.
