Summary

My research interests are focused on improving the management of irrigation water resources used in arid and semi-arid regions through the application of advanced engineering methods and technologies. Some of the topics I’m interested in are:

Precision irrigation (apply variable amounts of water to fields based on individual crop water needs)
w88 casino games loginirrigation scheduling (determine when, how much, and where to irrigate)
w88 live casinoApplication of artificial intelligence and optimization methods for the solution of complex problems in water and irrigation management
Development of easy-to-use Decision Support Systems that help farmers to reduce water use while maintaining yields
