Summary of 4th training course

Implemented Course Name: Hydraulic design for irrigation canal and canal

structure

1. Period: June 21 to 25, 2010 (5 days)

2. Participants: 20

3. Purpose of training course

To acquire knowledge for hydraulic canal design for irrigation systems

To acquire outline for structural analysis of irrigation facilities

4. Scene of training course

5. Summary evaluation of training course

Almost all participants were satisfied with this training course and they

thought that this training course was very important to design.

Many participants understood that theory is very important, but they thought

that this training course was shortage of practice and duration was a little bit

short. So, we need to improve the curriculum to add more practice and

sample of design with longer duration.

Some participants are luck of computer skill.

In many PDWRAM, they don’t have enough opportunity to design irrigation

canal and forget knowledge that they could get in this training. So Cambodia

government should provide them more opportunity to design by letting them

participate in the some project even in other province.

Implemented Course Name: Participation of farmer for sustainable irrigation

system management

1. Period: July 19 to 23, 2010 (5 days)

2. Participants: 20


To learn facilitation way for Farmer’s Participation Activity

To learn how to manage irrigation system

To learn how to formulate of farmer water users group

To learn how to collect water service fee effectively

To learn the canal maintenance work

To learn the construction of delivery canal

To learn how to compile useful method of farmer participatory irrigation

management

Site visitation at Thlear

Maorm model site in Pursat


Almost all participants are satisfied with this training course and they think

this training course is very useful to establish and enhance FWUC or FWUG

in their province, moreover to learn the necessary of farmer participatory

irrigation management etc.

Site visitation and opinion exchange with farmers was useful and effective.

Many participants request longer training about duration.

Some texts are written in English. So we need to translate to Khmer.


Implemented Course Name: Hydrology, Meteorology, Crop Water Requirement and

Irrigation Planning

1. Period: September 27 to October 5, 2010 (7 days)

2. Participants: 21


To acquire the ability of procedure of Hydrology, Meteorology, Crop water

requirement and Irrigation planning

To acquire the ability of observation, calculation and analysis etc. of Hydrology,

Meteorology, Crop water requirement and Irrigation planning



This training course is very important for participants to make a irrigation plan before

making a design on irrigation system.

OJT is easier for participants to understand content of training than indoor training.

Participant though duration of training course was little bit short.

Until next time, TSC will revise the curriculum and textbook.

Implemented Course Name: Accurate data collection Methodology For Agriculture

River basin Planning by Using Remote Sensing &

GIS Technology in House

1. Period : November 02– 12, 2010 (8 days)

2. Participants: 22


To use correctly a GIS (Including data download and upload):

To create maps using GIS combined with other software

To acquire the classification methods used in Remote Sensing and image to

processing;

To acquire the data collection principles for the Cambodia Information System

on Irrigation Schemes (CISIS).



All trainees were interested in the training, because it is very importance for the

PDWRAM staff, and especially this training course is the main topic for making

irrigation planning.

Some trainees have no experiences in Remote Sensing & GIS.

All the participants were punctual.

Capability of trainees is not level. Change opinion with FWUC

Implemented Course Name: Cost Estimation of Irrigation Canal and Canal Structure by

Excel

1. Period: November 15 to 19, 2010 (5 days)

2. Participants: 20


To acquire knowledge for cost estimation of irrigation system

To acquire method calculation for cost estimation



Almost all participants is satisfied with this training course.

The text book is easy to understand for participants, because the content is explained

using many figures, pictures and data.

Some participants request us to instruct them in standard way of cost estimation that is

used in other country such as Japan. But, Cambodia don’t have the unit price list of

materials and work for cost estimation. In near future, Cambodia engineers need to

learn standard way as a next step.

Implemented Course Name: Construction Management

1. Period: November 29 to December 3, 2010 (5 days)

2. Participants: 20


To acquire a knowledge for outline of construction management

To acquire a knowledge for dimension control and quality control of earth and

concrete work through lecture and practice.



Almost all participants were satisfied with this training course, because this training

course is very useful for their work in each province.

They understood that this training course was very important to get high quality

irrigation facilities.

We need to revise the textbook including the safety control and schedule control.

They need to practice the matters that they could get in this training in each province

more.

Implemented Course Name: Practice Site Training Accurate Data Collection

Methodology Appropriate for Agriculture River Basin

Planning by Using Remote Sensing & GIS

Technology (II)

1. Period : December 06– 24, 2010 (14 days)

2. Participants: 12


a. To acquire the practical utilizing methods of remote sensing using satellite

images to grasp topographical and land use conditions

b. To acquire the practical GPS usage method to collect accurate topographical

data

c. To acquire the practical utilizing methods of the geographical information

system (GIS) to manage the information of irrigation schemes

d. To acquire the practical knowledge of the information technological

mechanism and structure of the Cambodian Information System on Irrigation

Scheme (CISIS) database

e. To acquire the appropriate operation method of the CISIS database

f. To acquire how to draw schematic irrigation diagram



Some of PDWRAMs C/P were good recorded, and experience in the field

survey.

GIS program is very interested, but in training course not detailed also should

be conducted in the next training course.

For CISIS data input it’s difficult to input (Survey team should be clear in the

field).
