Description

Irrigation Systems covers the basics of design and operation of various irrigation systems in the Canadian prairies.

The course is divided into four sections/modules. Each section is intended to take between 2-4 hours to complete. The intent is that one section/module is completed per week but you are free to adjust the timing for completion to fit your schedule. You will need to complete all sections and quizzes indicated on the Canvas course page, to complete the course.

 

Learner Outcomes

After completing the module learners will:

  • Understand different irrigation systems and strategies to operate and maintain components effectively and efficiently
  • Be able to describe how application rate and uniformity affects management strategies associated with the different irrigation systems.
  • Be able to articulate the advantages vs. disadvantages of different management systems
  • Be able to match the irrigation system to field conditions and water distribution requirements (topography, microclimate, soils, etc.)
  • Be able to calculate hydraulics required for irrigation system design including discharge rates, pressures, velocities and friction losses
  • Be able to calculate irrigation capacity and power requirements
  • Be able to calculate irrigation uniformity and efficiency

Course 2 - Required for both streams (Water Management & Irrigation Agronomy) and required to compete before remaining courses.
