 the Institute of Soil and Water Resources

The institute of Water and Soil Resources, formerly known as the Department of Water and Soil Engineering of Agriculture, was established in 1952. It is an important supporting research institution of the first level discipline of agricultural engineering in Jiangsu Province. The institute has 13 in-service researchers, including 6 professors, 6 associate professors and 1 experimenter. There are 11 doctors (the latter) among the researchers, accounting for 85% of the total number of disciplines, and they are involved in agricultural water and soil engineering, soil science, water conservancy and hydropower engineering and other majors. The State Key Laboratory of Hydrology, Water Resources and Water Conservancy Engineering Science, the Key Laboratory of Efficient Irrigation and Drainage, Agriculture, Soil and Water Environment of The Ministry of Education and the Water-saving Park of the Ministry of Water Resources have provided good scientific research platform and hardware support for the development of the institute.

The research institute aims at the national goals, focuses on the efficient utilization and sustainable development of agricultural water and soil resources, closely combines the needs of planning, control and protection of soil and water resources in China, organically combines agriculture, water conservancy, environment and land, and pays attention to basic theoretical research and application demonstration. For agricultural and rural development is an urgent need to solve scientific problems, according to the theory of sustainable utilization of agricultural water and soil resources efficiency and system and key technology as the research direction, in order to solve the soil and water resources allocation is not reasonable and the problem of soil and water environment deterioration, crop drought stress as the goal, key research analysis and optimized configuration of soil and water resources, the reduction, water-saving mechanism of soil erosion and erosion control, quality improvement and land comprehensive improvement and agricultural water resources management, and other topics.

In the past five years, the Institute has undertaken more than 200 projects, including the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Science and Technology Support Plan, major key science and technology projects at the provincial and ministerial level, and production and scientific research projects. The institute has won 2 provincial and ministerial science and technology Progress awards, more than 30 national invention patents, more than 100 SCI retrieval papers, and 6 monographs or teaching materials. It has trained more than 100 postgraduates, among which 3 dissertations have been awarded excellent dissertations of Jiangsu Province.
