For vegetative growth and development, plants require, within reach of their roots, water of adequate quality, in appropriate quantity and at the right time. Most of the water a plant absorbs performs the function of raising dissolved nutrients from the soil to the aerial organs, from where it is released to the atmosphere by transpiration: agricultural water use is intrinsically consumptive. Crops have specific water requirements, and these vary depending on local climatic conditions. this first lesson students will be introduced to different methods of irrigation. These methods are specifically associated to vineyards, however they could be adapted to address irrigation methods that are used in your area. You will need computers and internet access for this lesson. Students will be creating digital infographics that will be used as resources in an app they will create as the culminating project.
