Precision Water Management

Precision Water Management

Lab Director

Dr. Vivek Sharma

Assistant Professor, Precision Water Management

Research Interests

Precision agricultural water management, remote sensing applications in agriculture, soil moisture dynamics, impact of climate change on crop productivity.

Education: Ph.D. in Biological Systems Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Hometown: State, India.

Before joining UF, Dr. Vivek Sharma worked as an assistant professor and irrigation specialist in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Wyoming. Dr. Sharma’s integrated research and extension program addresses the application and development of precision agricultural water management technologies and strategies to enhance/improve water use efficiency, reduce agricultural water use, and reduce the impacts of agricultural management practices on downstream resources, users and water quality. His areas of specialization include precision agricultural water management, aiming toward the quantification of crop water use/evapotranspiration (ET), irrigation scheduling and requirements, soil moisture sensing, soil and crop growth dynamics, crop water productivity (CWP), and impact of climate variables on agricultural productivity. Dr. Sharma uses a multi-scale integration approach in his research by up-scaling field-level observations to regional-level using various remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) modeling approaches to aid in better decision making.
