Brief description of institution/organization
The
Department of Irrigation Engineering is the first department in the Faculty of
Engineering, previously called School of Irrigation then the 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. It offers Bachelor,
Master and Doctoral degree programmes in irrigation engineering. Upon request,
the department can also provide training courses on 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. |
