Programme prospectus
The International Irrigation
Center develops technical training courses at the request of different countries
in order to reach a larger number of professionals. Several countries have
organized courses in conjunction with the International Irrigation Center under
the sponsorship of different donor agencies. This has proven to be a very
efficient technology transfer process in these countries.
During 1984, the International Irrigation Center cooperated
with the Water and Land Management Institute at Aurangabad, India, in presenting
a course on Irrigation Scheduling. In the same year, the IIC also cooperated
with several agencies in Bolivia (the US Agency for International Development,
the Development Corporation of Tarija, the Programme for Land Rehabilitation in
Tarija and Juan Misael Saracho University) in presenting a course at Tarija on
the Design and Operation of Small Irrigation Systems. In 1985, two courses were
presented in Bangladesh on Irrigation Water Production Functions and Groundwater
Investigations in cooperation with the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council.
In addition, another course was conducted in Bolivia: On-Farm Water
Management.
Since these inaugural efforts, additional courses have been
conducted in many countries around the world: Bolivia, Brazil, Egypt, El
Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Sri Lanka and
Thailand. Most of the courses are about one month in duration; however, the time
varies according to the particular requirements of the host country.

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 to provide 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.
