This module describes the skills, knowledge and
attitude required to establish infrastructure facilities in irrigation schemes.
It is intended for learners pursuing TVET diploma of irrigation and drainage
technology. At the end of this module the students will be able to organize
resources for installation work, establish Site requirement facilities and
complete installation Works. Qualified student deemed competent to this competency,
may work with others in support of current professional practice in marshland,
hillside, small scale irrigation, garden, greenhouses under guidance.
The purpose of this module is to give students a wider understanding of principles of water, the importance of hydrology, groundwater, open channel flow, streamflow measurements and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). It provides a clear understanding of water resources and processes related to the movement of water above, on and below the earth's surface. It provides a basic knowledge of atmospheric and surface processes (precipitation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, surface run-off).
The main objectives and contents of this course are based on an understanding of water cycle, discussion on water cycle components and integrated water resources management (IWRM) as a tool for sustainable water resources planning.
This module describes the skills, knowledge and attitude required to apply basic concept of electricity and automation. It is intended for learners pursuing TVET diploma of irrigation and drainage technology. At the end of this module the students will be able to identify basic concepts in electricity, study the behavior and characteristics of AC and DC circuits, identify Single and 3phase circuits, install different electrical circuits in irrigation system, and install automated irrigation system. Qualified student deemed competent to this competency, may work with others in support of current professional practice in marshland, hillside, small scale irrigation, garden, greenhouses under guidance.
This course is about welding of hydraulic structures where we will see or study different methods used for welding, specifically to weld metals structures used in canals irrigation and drainage.
