The Program has a single Area of Concentration (WATER AND SOIL ENGINEERING), with the following lines of research:
1. Environmental Monitoring and Recovery of Agricultural Soils and Degraded Areas
The Environmental Monitoring and Recovery of Agricultural Soils and Degraded Areas line aims to study the recovery and mitigation of degraded areas, in the soil sense, as well as their water resources, in order to provide adequate management and the reestablishment of productive potential.
2. Integrated Water and Soil Management
The Integrated Water and Soil Management line addresses the sustainable development of irrigated agriculture, salinity control in irrigated areas and hydrological characterization and management of basins.
3. Waste Utilization and Water Reuse
The Waste Utilization and Water Reuse research line addresses issues related to the use of agricultural and industrial waste for various purposes, as well as the reuse of saline, drainage and wastewater.
4. Management of Agricultural Activities in Protected Environments
Addresses the application of knowledge of Engineering and Agrometeorology, associated with the physical processes between the built environment and its relationship with the growth and development of living beings, both plants and animals, which require adequate environmental conditions for physiological processes to occur normally.
