Design and Operation of Farm Irrigation Systems. 2nd Ed., ASABE, St. Joseph, MI, 1040 pp. ISBN: 1-892769-64-6. 2. Class Handouts and directed readings Course Objective: To provide an understanding of basic engineering principles and procedures which are necessary for the successful selection, design and operation of pressurized and surface (free flow) irrigation systems. Outcomes: on completion of the course, the student will understand and be able to: 1. Select a suitable irrigation system for a given situation 2. Assess the performance of irrigation systems. 3. Complete the basic design of irrigation systems: sprinkler, strickle, and surfacce. 4. Conceptualize the basis of a precision irrigation system. Course topics/weekly schedule Week 1: Overview of irrigation and soil water - plant relationships. Week 2: Irrigation water requirements and system capacity. Week 3: Types of irrigation systems and their selection criteria. Week 4: Performance criteria of irrigation systems. Week 5: Principles of pressurized irrigation systems. Week 6: Sprinkler irrigation design of fixed and hand move systems. Week 7: Economic pipe design. Week 8: Pumps and system curves (Design of pumping units) Week 9: Design of self move (pivot and lateral) sprinkler irrigation systems. Week 10: Trickle irrigation design and operation. Week 11: Precision irrigation concepts and application Week 12: Surface irrigation systems design principles. Week 13: Design of surface irrigation systems (e.g., basin, boder, furrow) Week 14: Irrigation systems drainage considerations. Week 15: Summary and reviews. Final Exam: Instructional Methodology: The class will meet..a week for lectures and discussion. Mode of Delivery: Classroom instructrion Methods of evaluation: Students will be evaluated on the basis of examinations, homwork. There will be two mid term exams and a final exam. The course grade will be determined based upon the following percentages: + Midterm exams (1) = 20% + Final exam = 50% + Homework = 30% Total = 100%

Policies: I will accept late homework submissions up to five days after the due date or before solutions are distributed, whichever comes first. A penalty of 20% per day late will be assessed on these assignments. Make up exams will be given only for university approved excuses or when you have a note from a medical professional. No cell phone on in the classroom.
