Research Team of Safety Utilization of Unconventional Water Resources

Team Chief  Gao Feng, Professor

Gao Feng, PhD, professor, doctoral supervisor, is currently engaged in research on the safety utilization of unconventional agricultural water resources. He presided over or participated in 17 national and provincial-level projects, published more than 40 papers, participated in the preparation of 7 national plans, compiled and revised 6 national and industry standards, edited 3 monographs, and participated in the editing of 11 books. His research results won the third prize of Dayu Water Conservancy Science and Technology Progress Award. The co-editing book Arid Area Agriculture in China won the Nominees Award of the 3rd China Excellent Publication Book. The research results of irrigation water utilization coefficient were promoted and applied nationwide. At present, he concurrently serves as a member of the council of the Chinese Society of Hydraulic Engineering, the evaluation expert for construction projects of MOA, and an evaluation expert on water resources for construction projects of the Ministry of Water Resources.
