Prerequisite: Fluid Mechanics, any Undergraduate
course in Irrigation/Water Resources




Course Approach
This is an introductory course at the undergraduate
level.
The purpose of the course is to introduce the basic
engineering principles in the design of irrigation and
drainage
Also, covers the measures to manage the water
resources
The course introduces the hydrologic topics in the
context of irrigation system design along with
hydraulic structures


Course Strategy
Approximately the first half of the course covers water
related issues and management practices
The second part of the course consists of irrigation and
drainage design and application
Because of the international relevance of the issues in
water resources, the course would maintain a careful
applied approach between the domestic and international
scenarios
It would be achieved through lectures and
individual/group assignments. Also, literature review and
analysis of some available data could be part of the course
work




Teaching Method
There will be 45 lecture sessions, three times a week
There would be 4 quizzes in the semester depending upon
the pace of the course material covered in the class
Assignments would be from the course material and may
be theoretical, numerical, or review of literature from
refereed journals
Lectures may be delivered using:
Black/White Board; OHPs; PowerPoint Presentation

Tips for the course
Try to go through the class material before the
class
Attend the classes
Learn the basics in the class and later go in
detail through water resources/irrigation books
and class notes
Concentrate on both theory and numerical
Do your assigned homework by YOURSELF

Change in Water Resources

Water is principle source for
sustainable life; However,
Over the last century
Human population has increased
3 times
Global water withdrawal has
increased 7 times
21
Most water resources are owned by
Government and are managed as
publicly owned resources
About one-sixth of the worlds people don't
have easy access to safe water
