It describes the development and importance of different
farm irrigation systems. The engineering and hydraulic bases required for the
design, operation and maintenance of various agricultural irrigation systems
are also discussed during the study. Also during the course study, the student
can design different irrigation systems according to hydraulic and economic
conditions. In examining this decision, reference is also to how the efficiency
of the irrigation system is calculated.
