Review various types of agricultural sprinkler systems and their specific applications. Learn to calculate precipitation rates that will be used to create efficient irrigation schedules.
Understand when pumps are needed, how they work and how to select a pump. Explore how to extract the information from a typical pump curve, and understand how the pump interacts with the system.

Water is essential for plant growth, and almost all of it comes through the soil. This course introduces students to soil classification, web based soils resources and important soil properties as they relate to irrigation. They will learn about how water is retained in the soil, how the plant extracts it, how we measure water in the soil, and how salts affect available water. They will also be introduced to water movement in layered soils.

Water is essential to life, and it continuously moves from the soil to the plant to the air and back to the soil in a system known as the soil-plant-air continuum or SPAC. This course shows how water moves in the hydrologic cycle, and is used by plants for transpiration and photosynthesis. Energy from the sun enables the plant to store energy for use by other living beings. Oxygen and carbon are also in a continuous cycle. This module shows how the systems all work together in a continuum essential to life.
