Brief description of institution/organization
The
International Irrigation Center (IIC) was established in 1980 as part of the
Department of Biological and Irrigation Engineering at Utah State University.
The Center was created as a response to an increasing need for providing
training and research to enhance the capabilities of professionals and
scientists outside the USA for improving irrigated agriculture in their
countries.
The general objectives of the IIC are to:
- Provide a unique training experience in
agricultural water management and utilization geared to the responsibilities and
functions of personnel managing water for societal development.
- Promote
applied research with the goal of contributing to the knowledge base and
creating research specialists. Research that is basic to the needs and
constraints of developing societies is to be emphasized.
- Maintain a
technical resource entity specializing in the processes of utilizing water for
agricultural production and societal development.
- Contribute to
international cooperation and understanding through professional activities of
the technical staff, effective research and special studies, enhanced capability
of the trainees and the professional reputation of former
students.
