INTRODUCTION
Water usage has grown by more than twice the rate of the world population increase during the last century, posing international problems, and putting pressure on world’s governments. Water use by agriculture sector represents approximately 70% of all available freshwater on our planet, an inevitable amount of usage for the continuity of human race. In this course, participants will explore ways for an effective usage of water for irrigation. It mainly focuses on the design of hydraulic infrastructure operations and design.
