   Project manager Pete Canessa with the Center for Irrigation Technology at California State University, Fresno, said the pump modifications may also bring greater efficiency and savings in water use.
   
   "Education is a major component of this," Canessa said, pointing out that the center will use two specially equipped mobile trailers to present 26 seminars statewide in the next 13 months. "The hardware is only as good as its management."
   
   New pump demonstration and training facilities will also be constructed at Fresno State and at California State University, Chico.
   
   The seminars will show how to purchase and maintain an efficient pumping system, to know how much water has been pumped and how much is needed.
