Course Description
The course consists of
four consecutive classes in landscape water management,
each building upon principles presented in the preceding
class. The California Friendly Landscape Training Program begins with irrigation
principles of soil-plant-water relationships, and
concludes with irrigation scheduling. Each participant
receives a bound handbook. The following is a synopsis
of each class in the course:
1. Irrigation
Principles: A comprehensive workshop addressing
the principle factors in landscape irrigation. Concepts
presented are the foundation to sound landscape water
management. Topics include plant water needs, soil
characteristics, and types of irrigation. Demonstrations
illustrate how to determine plant water needs, how
to manage irrigation in various types of soil, and
provides a graphic understanding of precipitation
rates and how they affect irrigation uniformity.
2. Irrigation System
Troubleshooting: This session focuses on an analytical approach to solving irrigation system failures. Three potential problem areas are examined:
1) mechanical, 2) hydraulic, and 3) electrical. Workshop
participants receive practical training in the use
of electrical troubleshooting equipment, and an opportunity
to demonstrate these skills during the hands-on portion
of the session.
3. Controller Programming:
A hands-on workshop where participants begin with
basic controller features by programming sample cases.
They then move into advanced controller features as
they input more complex schedules; consideration of
temperature/seasonal changes, rain, and landscape
activities or demands which limit irrigation times.
Irrigation controllers are provided for in-class use.
4. Irrigation Scheduling:
This session focuses on two critical questions: 1)
When to irrigate? and 2) How much water to apply?
A variety of field techniques and methods are presented
as well as the technical aspects to be considered
when scheduling irrigation run times. Each class participant
is furnished with the tools needed to perform an irrigation
scheduling assignment. Tools must be returned to the
instructor at the end of the class.
Upon completion of the
course, participants receive a certificate listing
all classes completed. Participants are eligible for
21 Continuing Education Units as certified by the
Irrigation Association.
