Learning Outcomes : The provision of scientific knowledge on issues related to basic land improvement projects, such as irrigation and drainage networks, as well as the quality criteria that water must meet to be suitable for irrigation. With the knowledge from the Land Improvement Projects course, students of the water resources direction will be able to better assimilate courses such as Stream Regulations and the DUP course-project. For their future professional engagement, they acquire basic knowledge for the design of technical projects, such as irrigation and drainage networks, as well as control of irrigation water quality and its suitability for agricultural use.
