Discover Irrigation Engineering

The Irrigation Engineering program encompasses the design, evaluation, and management of on-farm agricultural water application methods, including surface, sprinkler, and trickle systems, as well as the design, operation, and maintenance of water conveyance and delivery systems. The program also focuses on irrigation scheduling and crop water use topics, with strong ties to other academic departments and the agricultural extension services through the University and State of Utah. Dozens of domestic and international irrigation development and assistance projects have been implemented through the Irrigation Engineering program at USU over the past several decades. Many current and former USU students have participated directly in project activities.
