A beginner's guide to irrigation will be offered in Hawke's Bay next month for professionals who need to better understand the sector to help their dealings with farmers.

The Irrigation Fundamentals course is a two day workshop offered by IrrigationNZ to introduce non-farmers to the principles of irrigation management.

The course, particularly targeted at frontline staff of organisations and businesses that provide services to the irrigation industry, will take place in Hastings on August 3-4.

Rural advisors, environmental consultants and regional council staff are among those who have attended the course so far in the South Island.

More details about the Irrigation Fundamentals course can be found at www.irrigationnz.co.nz/events
