The Department of Soil and Water Sciences

Scientific activities in the Department of Soil and Water Sciences, which also forms the Seagram Center of Soil and Water Sciences, are directed towards studying the various phases and components of the soil-water-atmosphere complex.

The unique Israeli experience in terms of developing and managing limited water resources, mitigating desertification and creating successful agriculture in an arid environment influences both the background and the results of these activities.
