Course Content
Major and medium irrigation schemes of India, purpose of irrigation, environmental impact of irrigation projects, source of irrigation water, present status of development and utilization of different water resources of the country, canal command area development programmes, measurement of irrigation water: weir, flumes and orifices and other methods.
Open channel water conveyance system: design and lining of irrigation field channels, on farm structures for water conveyance, control & distribution; underground pipe conveyance system: components and design.
Land grading: criteria for land levelling, land levelling design methods, estimation of earth work; soil water plant relationship: soil properties influencing irrigation management, soil water movement, infiltration, soil water potential, soil moisture characteristics, soil moisture constants, measurement of soil moisture, moisture stress and plant response.
Water requirement of crops: concept of evapotranspiration (ET), measurement and estimation of ET, water and irrigation requirement of crops, depth of irrigation, frequency of irrigation, irrigation efficiencies; surface methods of water application: border, check basin, furrow irrigation, Drip and sprinkler Irrigation - adaptability, merit, demerit, specification and design considerations.
Sub-surface drainage purpose and benefits, investigations of design parameters, hydraulic conductivity, drainable porosity, water table etc., types of use of subsurface drainage system, steady and unsteady state methods for drain depth and spacing, installation and cost estimation, drainage of salt affected soils and leaching requirement inter-relation of irrigation and drainage.
