Programme prospectus
The aim of the module is to
provide participants with applied knowledge of design and management of
hydraulic structures; the hydraulic, structural and management aspects of
conveyance and other structures in irrigation and drainage networks; an
understanding of the concept of asset management and its use in planning and
budgeting for management of infrastructure; the soil mechanical aspects of canal
slopes, embankments and the foundation of (small) irrigation and drainage
structures and to present some standard soil mechanical calculation
methods.
After undertaking this module the participants must be able

Brief description of institution/organization
IHE's
vision is a world in which people control their water and environmental
resources in a sustainable manner, in which all sectors of society, particularly
the poor, can enjoy the benefits of basic services. IHE's mission is to
contribute to the education and training of capable professionals and to build
the capacity of knowledge centres and other organizations in the fields of
water, the environment and infrastructure in developing countries and countries
in transition.
IHE offers a range of Masters and Ph.D. degree programmes, as
well as shorter certificate and tailor-made training courses. These courses
annually attract professionals of more than 70 different nationalities. IHE's
research and development activities, including Ph.D. research, focus on priority
areas of immediate concern to developing countries and countries in transition.
These activities aim to contribute to the overall knowledge base in a wide range
of fields covered by each of IHE's main themes of research, education and
institutional development.
There are five research themes at IHE: water security,
environmental integrity, urbanization, integration and information and
communication. |
