Research summary

Dongyang Ren works on agricultural water management in arid and irrigated farming regions, developing computer models that simulate how crops grow, use water, and interact with soil, groundwater, and irrigation systems. Much of the work focuses on large irrigation districts (such as those along the Yellow River) and aims to help balance water use, food production, and environmental sustainability under climate and human pressures.
