Master

The Irrigation Systems module aims to provide students in the Agro-ecological Production Systems specialization with the scientific, technical, and environmental foundations for efficient water management in agriculture. It covers fundamental hydraulic principles, the main irrigation methods (surface irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and drip irrigation), basic system design concepts, and criteria for selecting appropriate technologies according to soil, climate, and crop conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on improving water use efficiency, adapting irrigation practices to climate variability, and integrating agro-ecological principles to ensure resilient and sustainable production systems.
