The Ministry of Municipality's Agricultural Affairs Department and the Agricultural Research Department, in co-operation with Mahaseel for Marketing and Agricultural Services, a subsidiary of Hassad Food Company, organised a guidance programme on 'Managing Plant Water Requirements: Principles of Irrigation Calculation and Determining Quantities'. The programme was held at the Agricultural Guidance Center affiliated with Hassad Food, with the participation of 34 agriculture engineers and local farm managers. It addressed the importance of understanding Qatar’s water resources and their current situation, reviewed the key challenges related to their management, and introduced the principles of determining plant water requirements and scientifically accurate and efficient methods for calculating irrigation quantities. The programme also presented a number of proposals, most notably: developing an electronic application for managing plant water requirements, enhancing the practical and applied aspects of training programmes, and collecting farm data under the supervision of the Ministry of Municipality to issue periodic recommendations on irrigation water quantities. These steps aim to improve the efficiency of water resource use in the country’s agricultural sector. An interactive test was conducted for participants to reinforce the acquired knowledge. They received certificates at the conclusion.
