Brief description of institution/organization
The
Department of Irrigation Engineering is the first department in the Faculty of
Engineering, previously called the School of Irrigation then 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.
The department offers Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degree
programmes in irrigation engineering. Upon request, the department can also
provide training courses in irrigation design and water management. The
Department's major research programmes are: the development of micro and
sprinkler irrigation systems, 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
systems and simulation and optimization of irrigation and water resources
systems. |
