Specialties in extension include surface and sprinkler irrigation, particularly as related to equipment, management, crop water use and irrigation management impacts on surface and subsurface water quality.

Research emphasis is in development of automated micro irrigation systems for integrated nitrogen/irrigation management to minimize subsurface nitrate contamination, quantification and treatment options to minimize canal seepage losses, and development and demonstration of techniques to minimize sediment losses from surface irrigated lands.
