Irrigation Training and Research Center (ITRC)

The Irrigation Training & Research Center was established in 1989 at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, as a center of excellence, building on a history of contributions to the irrigation industry. The first commitment of ITRC is to enhance Cal Poly`s strong irrigation teaching program through outside activities in training, research, and technical support. As our motto says, we are `moving water in new directions.` Cal Poly and ITRC are proud of their ability to combine sophisticated theory with a `hands-on` approach to provide a usable product. Many of the educational services that ITRC provides are made possible by our supporters and their generous donations of services, equipment, and funds.
