MATLAMAT (GOALS):

This course introduces students to the irrigation types according to the soil-crop requirement. The students
also require to build irrigation design and choose the most efficient irrigation system.
SINOPSIS (SYNOPSIS):

This course covers the irrigation design and selection according the soil-crop requirement. It also involves a
guidelines for an irrigation design and choose the most efficient irrigation system for crop production.
