Programme's main focus
Enhancement of the capabilities of water professionals.

Programme prospectus
The objective of the course is to provide irrigation engineers and professionals a familiarity with modern computational analysis of irrigation-water-delivery systems and with applications to improve system operation and evaluation.

The course covers hydraulic principles of irrigation-water-delivery systems; design and management objectives, performance assessment and constraints of water-delivery systems; computational modeling of flow in canal networks.

The course includes a field trip to the US Water Conservation Laboratory, the Central Arizona Project and the Imperial Irrigation District in California to study field installations of canal control structures and flow measurements.

Target group
Irrigation engineers and professionals with responsibility for modeling, regulation and measurement of flow in irrigation-water-delivery systems
