Overview

The irrigation water management course aims to introduce the concepts of water resources and their management in order to make optimal use of irrigation water. In this course, the scientific methods used in irrigation operations and their proper management are discussed. This course explains the various irrigation water exploitation problems by studying underground reservoirs. Where the student learns scientific applications in the field of water and land resources management, as well as analyzes the causes of pollution of various water resources and the environmental effects of that.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course the student will be able to:

A. Knowledge & understand

A.1. Learn to understand the irrigation water management problems resulting from the over-exploitation of water resources.

A.2. Explains the mechanism of the effect of excessive withdrawal from groundwater aquifers on water resources.

A.3. Name the modern concepts used in the field of irrigation water management.

A.4. The student classifies the negative effects resulting from poor management of irrigation water.

A. 5. Explain the importance of water resources and the need to preserve them from depletion and pollution.

B. Mental skills

B.1. Reformulate the arrangement of information in the irrigation water management study.

B.2. The student predicts the design of water and land resources management operations programs.
