Overview

After participating in the course, you will be able to:

• have a detail knowledge about irrigation system equipment and components (sprinkler irrigation and micro-irrigation)
• have a basic understanding of irrigation system hydraulics and flow principles
• have a working knowledge of how to work with EPANET software
• have gained experience designing and applying EPANET to design to design an irrigation system

Description:

One of the most important aspects of farm and landscape design for those involved in the irrigation industry is design of an optimal irrigation system. From choosing the right layout, equipment and sprinklers/emitters to setting the amount of water, proper irrigation are essential. The main focus of this course is to provide necessary information for professional designing and operating sprinkler and micro irrigation systems for farm/landscape by calculating water requirement based on evapotraspiration, soil and plant root zone water storage capacity.

EPANET software is one of the interesting water distribution system modeling software package developed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPANET is widely used to perform extended-period simulation of the hydraulic and water quality behavior within irrigation systems, which consist of pipes, nodes (junctions), pumps, valves, storage tanks, and reservoirs. This training course learn how to use EPANET for the hydraulic simulations of irrigation systems. During the course, design steps will be highlighted through several simple examples and the practical examples are illustrated to show how to apply the EPANET software into practice of pressurized irrigation systems.

Course Outline:

• Irrigation water requirement
• Master theory and application principles for hydraulic of pipes
• Introduction to EPANET
• Design of pressurized irrigation systems
• Practical considerations

Who Should Attend:

Agriculture and Enviromental Engineers • Project Engineers and Managers • Consultants • Designers • Operation and Maintenance personnel • Developers • Planners

All software is free and user friendly and trainees after this course will be able to use them for their cases.

Sprinkler Irrigation Design Software Tool

Sprinkler system design software – Hydrant system design software

When looking for a simple software, but complete, with all the features that a software design must have, CPI win SPIDI is the right one for you, thanks to its easy and flexible user interface that ensures a short learning curve and rapid estimate turnaround. It permits: system design according to EN 12845 and/or NFPA 13 codes, dimension the pipings and make the calculation, choice the pump group, create a complete report, create the material list and then create technical drawings and sections in dwg/dxf, with all the necessary information.

CPI win® SPIDI allows the user to follow (even in the same project) the European standard EN 12845 and the NFPA 13 standards (considering also all study cases for the installation of ESFR and CMSA sprinkler, in addition to all types of sprinklers contemplated in the respective standards). But it has a great flexibility that permits you to design also with any hydraulic parameter and free classification.

It can import directly a sprinkler piping system from a dwg/.dxf file or design it with the software stand-alone Render 3D CAD, with tools to quickly draw your system within a few clicks.

Funzionalità sprinkler e idranti

• DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT of 3D piping, also on multiple levels and with the main CAD functions
• Simultaneous management of various independent piping system within the same project with separate calculation;
• All types of objects commonly used in a water system, perfectly scalable: hydrants, sprinklers, valves, installation supplies, joints, hangers, etc.
• POWERFUL TOOLS (Wizards) for quick input of entire extended system parts: with CPI win SPIDI you can create great network parts, inserting thousand of sprinklers in a few seconds by two or maximum three mouse clicks (branches, trees, grids, vertical grids and layouts for automatic filling of whole areas), inserting automatically candles, risers and vertical grids for rack systems. The Hydrant Wizard, also, permits to create assembled column of hydrants, until the desired height
