Episode 50: Rethinking groundwater use in arid agriculture

Episode 50: Rethinking groundwater use in arid agriculture
 

Sustainable irrigation starts with understanding how water moves through the entire system. Every interaction—from where it originates to where it’s taken off, stored, or lost—influences a crop’s ability to survive, especially in arid regions like Utah, USA and Punjab, India, where every drop matters. In this episode, PhD candidate Tejinder Singh joins us to discuss his research in soil hydraulics, evapotranspiration modeling, and sustainable irrigation.

Notes

Tejinder Singh received his master’s in agronomy from Punjab Agricultural University in India and is currently a PhD candidate in plant science at Utah State University. With a research focus on soil hydraulics, evapotranspiration modeling, and sustainable irrigation practices, Tejinder combines field-based experimentation with advanced sensor technologies to tackle water scarcity and agriculture. Originally from a farming background in Punjab, India, Tejinder has been working to translate cutting-edge science into real-world solutions for growers in arid and semi-arid regions. He is also among the first recipients of the Gaylon Campbell Fellowship awarded by METER Group for innovation in environmental measurement.
