Jane Frankenberger's research focuses on how agricultural drainage and irrigation systems affect water quality, water availability, and crop yields, particularly in the U.S. Midwest and other farming regions. Her work examines practices like drainage water recycling, subirrigation (supplying water to crops from below the soil surface), and other conservation drainage methods, often evaluating their effectiveness through field studies and simulation modeling. She also studies how these practices might help farmland adapt to climate change and improve environmental outcomes.
