Agrohydrology in a Changing World: From Global Processes to Local Outcomes

Session ID#: 76891

Session Description:
A leading trans-disciplinary challenge in the 21st century is how to grow more food with less water while also improving water quality, soil health, and biodiversity. This session seeks to improve agrohydrological understanding at both global and local scales and translate this understanding into sustainable, multifunctional landscapes.


We seek abstracts studying water quantity and/or water quality in agricultural landscapes and the urban-rural interface. Potential topics include (but are not limited to): (i) how to harness new technologies, tools, and big data (e.g. UAVs, deep learning, Google Earth Engine) to improve water management; (ii) agroecosystem links to other earth systems, particularly climate change; (iii) hydrologic thresholds, regime shifts, and alternative stable states in agroecosystems; (iv) emerging management practices including managed aquifer recharge, deficit irrigation, precision agriculture, and designer flows; (v) food-energy-water nexus research; (vi) social dimensions of agrohydrology; and (vi) translating scientific understanding into effective management and policy.
