Teams of students will be working on designing on-farm irrigation/drainage systems to meet the needs of the types of crops grown. They will be using the topographic information, soil profile information, historic weather data, water resources availability, the availability of outlet for drainage water etc., to design an on-farm water management system. The client is expected to provide the data necessary for the design of the water management system. The students will design the water management system and develop an operational plan to schedule the irrigation for the different fields to maximize the use of the irrigation systems.
