Overview
Key Laboratory for Water-saving Agriculture, Heibei Province
Key Laboratory for Water-saving Agriculture, Heibei Province, was founded in 2005 by the Science and Technology Department of Hebei Province. The laboratory’s mission is to develop suitable scientific knowledges, techniques, and regional strategies for agricultural water-saving in the North China Plain, in order to better conserve the severe exploited groundwater resources and to assure this region as an important food production area of China.
Major research fields:
(1) Fundamentals and technologies of biological water saving:
(2) SPAC water transferring and agronomic water saving practices:
(3) Rainwater harvesting and utilization of slight salty water:
(4) Sustainable agricultural water resources management:
