Rationale:
Water is a scarce commodity in the universe. Universe without water is not a place to live. One cannot grow crops without water. The water use efficiency is the main point in sharing river water across the countries. Judicial and efficient use of water becomes vital for the longevity of our mother earth.
This subject Irrigation Engineering aims to study about the sources of water and methods of water use effectively.
Objectives:
- To understand the basic of Irrigation engineering
- To understand the methods of irrigation and water quality.
- To know about the irrigation methods and sources of irrigation.
- To know about the plant-water- soil relationship.
- To understand about ground water and other water sources.
- To understand about application rate.
- To understand about water logging and drainage in land use.
