The laboratory of Water Resources-Irrigation & Environmental Geoinformatics, has three (3) priorities:

  1. The efficient use of irrigation water & the mitigation of climate-water effects on agriculture (drought, floods, erosion).
  2. Simulation and forecasting of the dynamics of soil-water resources and pollutants (saline water, ΝΟ-33 etc.) in the agricultural sector.
  3. Proper and efficient irrigation techniques in tree crops - Optimization of irrigation systems efficiency & water distribution

The above priorities are implemented using:

    • Dynamic simulation models & GIS
    • In situ & satellite remote sensing techniques
    • Telemetric systems for recording hydrometeorological information, plant physiology and soil-water parameters.
