http://ocw.usu.edu The Biological and Irrigation Engineering (BIE) department applies the art and science of engineering principles to the solution of problems in biological systems, and to the creation of new biological-based systems, processes, and products. daily 1 2008-02-01T01:33:14Z http://ocw.usu.edu/Biological_and_Irrigation_Engineering/Surface_Irrigation_Design This course was originally developed for the United States Department of Agriculture. It contains nearly 20 video lecture presentations with accompanying slides in English, Arabic, and French, an online textbook, homework assignments, and downloadable surface irrigation simulation software also developed by Dr. Walker. This course highlights design and evaluation of surface irrigation systems, field measurements for evaluating and improving uniformity and efficiency, simulation of surface systems, and land leveling computation and equipment. admin biological engineering design irrigation surface 2008-03-11T18:09:03Z Course text/html http://ocw.usu.edu/Biological_and_Irrigation_Engineering/Irrigation___Conveyance_Control_Systems This is a course regarding measurement of flow rates and water levels. Calibration, design, and selection of open-channel flow measurement structures.
