Sustainable management of water resources is a key factor in maintaining the health of the planet. Directed efforts in allocation and efficient use have become necessary to ensure that this natural resource<\/span>
can satisfy human expansion rates. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Water Systems Management Lab at University of California, Merced is devoted to combating issues relating to water availability, quality, and distribution. <\/span><\/p>\n

Topics of <\/span>research interest in this lab include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Climate Extremes<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span>Systems Analysis in Water<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span>Agriculture Economics<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/span>Resilient Communities<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The use of interdisciplinary approaches such as hydrology, dynamic computer modeling, environmental policy, and education to study water management, especially regarding the agricultural sector, aims to<\/span>
    improve both food availability and economic viability of farming and to reduce the environmental consequences of crop production. Better understandings of trends in usage are important in determining<\/span>
    realistic agricultural water-use goals for farmers and for estimating environmental impacts of agricultural activity; these studies can then become important tools in advising policymakers and agricultural<\/span>
    producers.<\/span><\/p>\n
