edXFarmers and water managers operate at the intersection of hydrology, governance, and infrastructure—decisions at one scale ripple upstream and downstream. This intermediate course teaches you to think systemically: mapping all water users and uses across farm, scheme, and river-basin scales. You'll estimate irrigation requirements, compare groundwater and surface-water governance models, and design drainage systems that give operational control. The thread running through each module: how institutional design and physical infrastructure must align for sustainable agriculture. Grounded in practical water management problems.
Understand to include various water users and uses and their respective spatial levels, from farm, to scheme, to river basin, both upstream and downstream. ,Explain the allocation, distribution, governance and use of both groundwater and surface water and apply the basic principles of estimating irrigation water requirements. ,Understand the relation between water technologies, management, governance & policy. ,Analyse the interrelations between institutional and infrastructural designs for sustainable water management in agriculture. ,Understand the concept of drainage and its role in agricultural water management and design drainage systems that enable more operational control.
