www Brief description of
institution/organization The University's mission is to be of international standing and outlook, achieving excellence through teaching, learning, research and service to its regional and international communities. The School of Environment and Agriculture at the University of Western Sydney, Hawkesbury Campus, is entrusted with the responsibility of developing strong irrigation teaching and learning programmes. The School is well known nationally and internationally for its experiential learning approach to education and follows this approach to combine sophisticated irrigation theory with a hands-on approach to provide useful training to irrigation professionals. The UWS has access to indoor and outdoor laboratories related to water and irrigation, a campus farm (1 500 ha), a meteorological observatory, a conference centre and computer facilities, for running the short courses and carrying out research in irrigation. |
