Course Description
Irrigation Systems covers the basics of design and operation of various irrigation systems in the Canadian prairies.
Learning Outcomes
After completing the module learners will:
• Understand different irrigation systems and strategies to operate and maintain components effectively and efficiently
• Be able to describe how application rate and uniformity affects management strategies associated with the different irrigation systems.
• Be able to articulate the advantages vs. disadvantages of different management systems
• Be able to match the irrigation system to field conditions and water distribution requirements (topography, microclimate, soils, etc.)
• Be able to calculate hydraulics required for irrigation system design including discharge rates, pressures, velocities and friction losses
• Be able to calculate irrigation capacity and power requirements
• Be able to calculate irrigation uniformity and efficiency
Class Outline
All course materials are available online and may be completed asynchronously. The course is divided into four sections, and each section is intended to take between 2 and 4 hours to complete. The intent is that one section is completed per week but learners are free to adjust their pace within the course dates to fit individual schedules. You will need to complete all sections and quizzes by the end of the last class in order to successfully complete the course.
The first section is available when you begin the course. The section will end with a ten question quiz. Subsequent modules will become available after you achieve an adequate grade of eight points or higher on the quiz. You have completed the course after achieving a grade of 8/10 or higher on the fourth quiz.
