| Aim: To give the students a) some knowledge of integrated water resources management and b) opportunity to determine the quantity of irrigation water needed depending on the local conditions and crop selection as well as the dimensions of irrigation canals. |
| Contents: 1) Based on a number of selected cases of larger river basins in Africa and Asia integrated water resources management is illustrated taking into consideration limitations in the available water resources, different competing water uses (domestic, livestock, irrigation, industry, hydropower) and technical as well as socio-economic and socio-political aspects, 2) Analyses of precipitation, evaporaton and runoff for an area in Tanzania. Calculation of the seasonal variation of the crop water requirements and irrigation water demand. Evaluation of the salt accumulation in the root zone (Analyses will be based on the utilization of PC-software developed by FAO.). Hydraulic design of irrigation canals. |
