Irrigation and Irrigation Management A to Z: Including Things You’ve Been Afraid to Ask
This full-day workshop provides a practical, no-pressure environment to build confidence in irrigation systems—whether you’re new to the field or looking to strengthen your fundamentals. Participants will learn the essentials of parts, fittings, valves, and sprinklers, along with how to properly use multimeters and ammeters to evaluate system performance.
The session also covers key differences between traditional and 2-wire systems, while emphasizing hands-on troubleshooting techniques you can apply immediately. In addition, attendees will explore soil-water relationships and learn how to interpret weather data to improve irrigation efficiency and decision-making.
