he Agricultural Water Environment Lab. (AWEL) of Chonbuk National University utilizes spatial information technology based on Hydrology, Fluid Dynamics, and Remote Sensing, which are major subjects of agricultural engineering. , And is conducting research on establishing and maintaining measures to effectively manage and sustain sustainable resources for various agricultural watersheds including rural areas. In addition, recent measures to prevent disasters such as droughts and floods due to climate change have been made, and studies on the field monitoring and modeling related to changes in future agricultural environment and water resources of agricultural watershed have been conducted.

Major research fields

Construction of agricultural repair environmental monitoring system

Understanding the interrelationships and relationships between water-soil-crop-atmosphere, which is the basis of agricultural repairs, requires long-term field monitoring. The laboratory is constructing reliable data through on-site monitoring and conducting various studies to analyze rainfall-runoff, water quality, crop, soil, and climate.

GIS & RS-based spatial analysis and modeling

On-site monitoring has limitations on a variety of conditions, including manpower, economic costs, and the environment. In order to overcome the limitations of on-site monitoring, we use geographic information system (GIS) and RS (remote sensing) to analyze spatial information, GIS-based SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) and APEX (Agricultural Policy Environmental eXtender) The modeling is carried out to estimate the rainfall - runoff, water quality, and crops of the target watershed.

Agricultural disaster response and climate change research

From past to present, we have been building and utilizing vast amounts of data to present vulnerabilities and problems such as agricultural production infrastructures and agricultural repair facilities to date, and are preparing countermeasures. In addition, to respond to climate change, the Global Circulate Model (GCM) data is collected to analyze climate change scenarios and assess the vulnerability of agriculture facilities to 100 years of future agriculture, water resources impacts on agricultural waters, agricultural disasters (drought, Floods) in the region.
