Classroom Resources

The Irrigation Association has developed a number of curriculum resources for use by colleges and technical schools. Instructor kits, student workbooks and laboratory kits can be used as primary texts to supplement existing coursework or for independent study.

Although developed for colleges, technical schools and class instructors, these resources are available to anyone in the industry and are an excellent resource for irrigation basics.
