Jonathan D. Witter

Jonathan D. Witter's work focuses on agricultural drainage systems, particularly the design and evaluation of 'two-stage ditches'—engineered drainage channels intended to reduce erosion, manage stormwater, and remove excess nutrients from farmland runoff before it reaches rivers. His research combines watershed hydrology, sediment transport, and stream geomorphology (the study of how channels form and change shape) with practical questions about cost-effectiveness and adoption of these conservation practices by farmers and water managers.

Publication output has been modest and uneven over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2022 followed by a return to roughly one to two publications per year.
