<br />HUb l.( ";;<< l2: 22 <br /> <br />HHF <br /> <br />475 P09 <br /> <br />3458 <br />statement of Qualification. <br />Colorado Water Con.ervation Board <br /> <br />AGRO prepared a 600 page reference manual to be used with the Peace <br />Corps Irrigation Training Manual in the selection, planning, <br />design, operation, and management of small-scale irrigation <br />systems. The manual addressed the following topics: <br /> <br />1. Physical and Biological Resource Base - watersheds, water <br />measurement, surveying, soil-plant-water relationships, and <br />conducting initial environmental evaluations of irrigation <br />projects. <br /> <br />2. Developing Water Sources diversions, ponds for <br />irrigation water storage, pumps and water lifting devices, and <br />wells. <br /> <br />3. Estimating Irrigation Requirements - reference crop <br />evapotranspiration, FAD crop coefficients, effective <br />precipitation, groundwater contributions to crop requirements, <br />and gross irrigation requirements. <br /> <br />4. Farm Water Delivery Systems - control of irrigation water, <br />pipeline hydraulics and design, land leveling, irrigation <br />methods, surface irrigation systems, sprinkler irrigation <br />systems, and localized irrigation systems. <br /> <br />5. Farm Water Management - farm irrigation scheduling, <br />evaluation of existing irrigation systems, and training <br />farmers in small scale irrigation management. <br /> <br />6. Waterlogging and Salinity - basic concepts in waterlogging <br />and salinity, control of water logging and salinity problems, <br />and irrigation water quality. <br /> <br />7. Community organization and Development community <br />situation analysis/needs assessment, rapid rural appraisal, <br />water users associations, formal and non-formal communication <br />techniques, economic analysis, and financial analysis. <br /> <br />a,GRO Persounel <br />Mr. LeRoy Salazar, president of AGRD, has eighteen years of <br />engineering experience including agricultural and engineering <br />consul ting. He has performed water rights evaluations and analysis <br />on numerous projects of various sizes and types. He has prepared <br />the engineering studies and provided expert testimony in support of <br />the technical evaluations. He has taught irrigation management and <br />design in the United States and foreign countries. <br /> <br />5 <br />
