JNTUH B.Tech 3rd year (3-2) Micro Irrigation Engineering gives you detail information of Micro Irrigation Engineering R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Objective
To impart knowledge and skills to students to design sprinkler and drip irrigation systems to improve water productivity of different crops and to perform economic analysis and to prepare project proposals and cost estimates of Micro — Irrigation Systems.
Unit — I
Sprinkler Irrigation Historical development. Scenario in the World, Country and State, adaptability and limitations, Components of the sprinkler system, pump set, (Centrifugal, turbines and Submersible), Main lines, Lateral lines, Sprinkler heads, Debris screens, Desisting basins, booster pumps, Take-off valves, Flow control valves (individual sprinkler).
