Harnessing Solar Energy to Develop Irrigation Techniques

The U.S. Embassy, Baghdad / Bureau of NEA of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to integrate solar energy to develop modern irrigation techniques. This project will aim to revolutionize irrigation in Iraq by introducing solar-powered drip irrigation systems. The project will consist of in-person or virtual training sessions and workshops for undergraduates and graduates specializing in agriculture and water resources management, entrepreneurs, and technical staff from the ministries of agriculture and water resources. The goal is to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to transition from traditional irrigation methods to more efficient, water-saving, and eco-friendly drip irrigation systems powered by solar energy.
