Brief description of institution/organization
The
Department of Irrigation Engineering is the first department in the Faculty of
Engineering, previously called the School of Irrigation then Faculty of
Irrigation Engineering. Since it was founded in 1938, more than 1 100 irrigation
engineers have been trained.
The department consists of five laboratories: field
experimentation, irrigation engineering laboratory, surveying laboratory,
material testing laboratory and soil mechanics laboratory and offers Bachelor,
Master and Doctoral degree programmes in irrigation engineering.
Upon request, the department can provide training courses in
irrigation design and water management. The department's major research
programmes are the development of micro and sprinkler irrigation system, project
water allocation scheduling and monitoring, planning, design and development of
modern irrigated agriculture systems, application of GIS in planning and
management of irrigated agriculture system and simulation and optimization of
irrigation and water resources systems. |
