Agricultural Soil and Water Studies Laboratory

The Research Program

The Agricultural Soil & Water Studies Laboratory (Ag-SWSL) is a research lab within the Department of Engineering on 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Agricultural Campus. With a mandate to service agricultural community in Atlantic Canada, the primary goals of Ag-SWSL are:

  • Better understanding of Atlantic Canada鈥檚 water resource base and ongoing changes in climate and hydrology, and promote adaptive management practices

  • Develop and evaluate farm-scale technologies to improve water use efficiency, reduce environmental impacts

To accomplish our goals, the group uses state-of-the-art field (Bio-Environmental Engineering Centre, ) and laboratory research facilities. The lab is equipped with a wide range of advanced water analytical instruments and has access to a number of advanced hydrodynamic, hydrological, and water quality models.
