Training in Irrigation

We provide training for Schools, Groups, or individuals in Basic Irrigation

Training Overview

OBJECTIVES:

  • The importance of selecting an irrigation system’s pipe sizes, pumps, and components.
  • Water flows through pipes.
  • Water flow as a function of pipe cross-sections area (diameter and water velocity)
  • What water pressure is and what it does.
  • What is friction loss?
  • Appreciation of the relationship between flow and pressure in the functioning of an irrigation system
  • Why it is important to maintain an irrigation system
  • Audit and irrigation systems
  • Set pressure at PRV control valve.
