Programme prospectus
This course is the central core
of a group of courses developed and/or modified recently by the IIC in their
contribution to the global efforts of many other organizations involved in the
process of modernization and institutional changes in the global irrigation
sector.
This course is designed to assist administrators and
irrigation professionals from governmental institutions as well as private
organizations to be involved in on-going irrigation system transfer operations.
It will be useful to engineers, agro-science specialists, economists and
sociologists that are concerned with the change of the irrigation sector around
the world from governmental to user control. Future technical and professional
staff of newly formed water user organizations, irrigation sector specialists
and personnel from other non-government organizations involved in future
transfers will find this course beneficial.

Brief description of institution/organization
The
International Irrigation Center (IIC) was established in 1980 as part of the
Department of Biological and Irrigation Engineering at Utah State University.
The Center was created as a response to an increasing need to provide training
and research to enhance the capabilities of professionals and scientists outside
of the USA for improving irrigated agriculture in their countries.
The general objectives of the IIC are to:
- Provide a unique training experience in
agricultural water management and utilization geared to the responsibilities and
functions of personnel managing water for societal development.
- Promote
applied research with the goal of contributing to the knowledge base and
creating research specialists. Research that is basic to the needs and
constraints of developing societies is emphasized.
- Maintain a technical
resource entity specializing in the processes of utilizing water for
agricultural production and societal development.
- Contribute to
international cooperation and understanding through professional activities of
the technical staff, effective research and special studies, enhanced capability
of the trainees and the professional reputation of former
students.
