1. Precision Irrigation To Improve Water Use Efficiency

  Efficient water use is the key to sustainable management of water resources.  Over irrigating is wasteful and can lead to leaching of fertilizers and other potential pollutants into both underground and surface water supplies, whereas under irrigation leads to reduced yields.  The spatial and temporal characterization of crop water consumption is important for efficient management of water resources and allows water delivery to match agricultural demands.   Research...
