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 ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøAgricultural Campus. With a mandate to service agricultural community in Atlantic Canada, the primary goals of Ag-SWSL are:
- Better understanding of Atlantic Canada’s 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.
