Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course is aimed at teaching students to develop know how in planning, design, development, operation, maintenance & management of irrigation the demand analysis of irrigation, methods of irrigation, components of an irrigation system and layout of irrigation structures. The course is designed to plan the irrigation system, to design irrigation structures and to manage the irrigation system.
Course Content: Theory of open channel hydraulics - Classification of flow : uniform and non-uniform flow ; steady state and gradually varied flow - Properties of open channels : energy and momentum principles - Velocity profiles. Specific energy, specific force - Hydrometrology : Venturi, Parshall, gauging, - Uniform flow theory - Gradually varied flow theory. Classification of hydraulic axes. Integration methods - Rapidly varied flow : hydraulic jump, fall, weirs - Types of irrigation systems : gravity, pressure or drip irrigation - Theory of water flow in pipes - Pressure irrigation networks : pumps, pipes, sprinklers; design of a network - Irrigation and salinity.
