Soil Water Depletion and Water Use Efficiency of Wheat and Pea in Saskatchewan
Understanding the distribution of soil water and roots in soil profiles and their relationship to root water uptake (RWU) patterns is important for developing “water smart” rotations. In the semi-arid prairies, the introduction of pea into a rotation with cereals can help mitigate the influence of …

Non-invasive monitoring of water and solute fluxes in a cropped soil
Although the influence of root water uptake on solute transport is commonly recognized as important, it has barely been studied throughout the literature. However, plants take up a big amount of the infiltrating water and therefore they influence water flow patterns in the soil and concurrently …

Soil drying cycles in the succulent Karoo : different rooting systems and water uptake
In the semi-arid Succulent Karoo water is one of the most limiting resources, and plants that survive in the area require competitive water-use strategies suited to long periods of drought. Over the years much emphasis has been put on mechanisms that allow for the competitive success of water-use …

Evaluations of soybean genotypes for drought tolerance and charcoal rot resistance
… parents in a growth chamber based on sudden water depletion drought stress assessed by image-based ratings. Soybean genotypes for both the greenhouse and growth chamber tests were significant (P < 0.01), and there was a positive correlation (r = 0.37, P = 0.02) between the tests. Soybean …

Evaluation of irrigation water demand and agricultural land use in relation to surface water availability in Chongwe catchment.
… irrigation activities, competitiveness in water use which have caused water stress and conflicts in some catchments. Some water availability assessment works in Chongwe Catchment have been done by various researchers but very little work has been done on assessment of water demand. Some of …

Profiling of Microbial Communities, Antibiotic Resistance, Functional Genes, and Biodegradable Dissolved Organic Carbon in a Carbon-Based Potable Water Reuse System
Water reuse has become a promising alternative to alleviate stress on conventional freshwater resources in the face of population growth, sea level rise, source water depletion, eutrophication of water bodies, and climate change. Potable water reuse intentionally looks to purify wastewater effluent …

Behavioral responses and policy evaluation: Revisiting water and fuel policies
… the environment. I focus on policies affecting water depletion, water pollution, and fuel consumption. I assess their cost-effectiveness by modeling and quantifying the behavioral responses of farmers and households.</p> <p>My first essay focuses on decreasing groundwater depletion through …

Investigations on hydrodesulfurization reactions using slurry catalysts and supercritical water
Depletion of easily accessed and light crude oil sources is shifting future crude oil supply to less attractive heavier oil fractions. Vacuum residue, as the heaviest fraction found in crude oil and the bottom product of the vacuum distillation column in a refinery, has therefore been gaining more …
