| الوصف: | Water matters in a world that will soon have to grow food for billions more people. In that context, how should we educate aspiring professionals in the field of irrigation and water resource management? Before attempting an answer to that question we need to explore how the practice and science of irrigation have changed in recent decades. First, we outline the history of irrigation development, identifying the important research issues that were characteristic for each period. The intent is to delineate major trends in the profession, highlighting those changes with implications for university curricula in irrigation and water management. The second part of the paper reviews selected curriculum reform literature and discusses the practicalities of changing from a disciplinary curriculum to multi- or interdisciplinary teaching and research in irrigation and water management. The final section discusses the desired difference between the irrigation curriculum and the water management curriculum. |
