Covering an area of four ha the Water Conservation Center includes an experimental house and experimental field of 350 m2. The Center is mainly engaged in studies on crop-water-nutrient interaction mechanism, farmland water and fertilizer precision regulation principles and technologies, calculation and evaluation methods for crop evaporation and transpiration under water stress conditions, spray (micro) irrigation application technologies, surface irrigation application technologies and precision control technologies of irrigation water. It has accumulatively undertaken nearly 500 projects of various levels and types, including key research projects from the “6th Five-Year Plan” period to the “9th Five-Year Plan” period, modern agricultural technology theme projects under the 863 Program during the “10th Five-Year Plan” period, major national science and technology projects during the “10th Five-Year Plan” period; national projects and “948” introduced projects such as projects funded by NSFC, Agricultural Science and Technology Achievements Transformation Fund, and National Science and Technology Industrialization Program; provincial and ministerial projects such as the Technology Innovation, Promotion and Transformation Project of the Ministry of Water Resources, Central Water Conservancy Infrastructure Preliminary Work Project, and Water Conservancy Key Promotion Project. The Center has obtained more than 40 provincial and ministerial awards, seven national invention patents and 30 utility model patents; compiled more than 20 various standards at all levels; and developed about 100 (sets) of various equipment/products.
