With TECH you will develop innovative irrigation and water supply optimization techniques, taking your career to the professional zenith”

Irrigation is one of the procedures that allows the efficient distribution of water. Nowadays there are different types of irrigation and, with the advance of new technologies, new and increasingly sophisticated options have appeared. The aim is to create a system that is inclusive and respects both society and the communities as well as the natural ecosystem in which it is implemented. That is why experts in hydraulic engineering continue to search for the best methods for distributing water to crops, plants or trees. There are usually many variants that can be configured to achieve the desired irrigation, respecting and thinking about the preservation of the environment.

For this reason, scientific studies have not ceased in this area of knowledge to find the appropriate techniques and materials indicated to not harm any of the parties in this type of process, clarifying that professionals will have to be at the forefront in the irrigation sector. Therefore, this Postgraduate certificate will provide the students with updated tools on the design of irrigation networks and a focus on developing the general aspects that make up a network.

Students will expand their knowledge in areas related to the development of the main criteria for the design of the elements that are part of the system. This is a program that integrates a specialized professional team, and also has multimedia resources of the highest quality, offering dynamism and convenience with the online mode.
