Ministry of Labor and Skills and Ministry of Health wish to extend thanks and appreciation
to the many representatives of TVET instructors and respective industry experts who donated
their time and expertise to the development of this Teaching, Training and Learning Materials
(TTLM).
In irrigation filed; the measurement and quantity estimation of irrigation project helps to know
the quantity of work; to estimate the quantity of material required; to determine the cost of the
work; to estimate the expect project completion time and to know the amount of water supplied
for irrigation filed.
This module is designed to meet the industry requirement under the irrigation and drainage
occupational standard, particularly for the unit of competency: Carry out measurements and
calculations.
This module covers the units :
Standard and Principle of Estimation
Measurement,
Calculation and
Irrigation project quantity Estimation
Learning Objective of the Module
Apply Standard and Principle
Perform Measurement
Carry out Calculation
Estimate Irrigation project quantity
Module Instruction
For effective use this modules trainees are expected to follow the following module instruction:
1. Read the information written in each unit
2. Accomplish the Self-checks at the end of each unit
3. Perform Operation Sheets which were provided at the end of units
4. Do the “LAP test” giver at the end of each unit and
5. Read the identified reference book for Examples and exercise

2.4.2. Length
Length is the distance between two points i.e. A B We often estimate length by giving large
steps that are approximately 1 meter in length.
In the Glass and Glazing Industry, length refers to one of three lineal dimensions:
1. height (H)
2.4.3. Perimeter
The perimeter is the distance around the edge of something. The lengths needed to work out
perimeter are measured in millimetres. However, all edgework is costed at a price per lineal
meter. To calculate the perimeter (P) of an object with straight sides, simply measure the lengths
of each side and add them up. If you need to work out the perimeter of a more complex shape,
start by writing the length on all sides. For further points refer Example 2.5.
Example 2.5
Using the measured dimension calculate the area of the given geometric shape
Area =LxW
=4mx3m
= 12 m2
2.4.4. Volume
Volume is the amount of space taken up by a three dimensional shape or object. Volume is
related to capacity, which is the amount of liquid that a container can hold. This type of
measurement is used when measuring liquids such as water. Volume is measured in cubic
meters. One cubic meter is the volume of a cube with sides of one meter.
Example 2.7
To calculate the volume of a rectangular block, multiply the height by the width by the thickness.
For Example refer how the measured dimension based of the voulm is calculated below
Volume = H x W x T
= 1,800 mm x 1,300 mm x 3 mm
= 1.8 m x 1.3 m x .003 m
= 0.00702 m
For example by referencing figure 2.11 below the measured value of the canal are:
Length=Read form the
Width: 79.7cm
Freeboard=0.5cm
Top width=5.6cm
Bottom width=79.7cm
