Irrigation Water Management: Irrigation water needs

Abstract

This is one in a series of training manuals on subjects related to Irrigation that will be issued in 1985, 1986 and 1987. The papers are intended for use by field assistants in agricultural extension services and irrigation technicians at the village and district levels who want to increase their ability to deal with farm-level irrigation issues. Irrigation water needs is the third in a series of training manuals on irrigation. Unlike Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 3 has been divided into two parts. The papers contain material that is intended to provide support for irrigation training courses and to facilitate their conduct. Thus, taken together, they do not present a complete course in themselves, but instructors may find it helpful to use those papers or sections that are relevant to the specific irrigation conditions under discussion. The material may also be useful Co individual students who want to review a particular subject without a teacher.
