B. B. Wilson studies groundwater resources used for irrigated agriculture, focusing on how much water is being pumped from underground aquifers and how to make that use more sustainable over time. Much of this work centers on the High Plains aquifer in Kansas, using tools like water-level records, remote sensing of crop water use, and machine learning to estimate withdrawals and evaluate conservation programs. The research often informs practical questions about groundwater governance and policy for farmers and water managers.
