Manal H. Askar

Manal H. Askar's research focuses on how water and nutrients (especially phosphorus and nitrogen) move through agricultural fields that use subsurface drainage systems (buried pipes that remove excess water from soil). Much of this work involves developing and testing computer simulation models, particularly DRAINMOD and its phosphorus-tracking extension DRAINMOD-P, to predict drainage flow, nutrient loss, and the effectiveness of practices like controlled drainage, cover crops, and woodchip bioreactors in reducing pollution to waterways.

Publication activity has been modest but has increased in recent years, rising from no recorded outputs in 2017-2018 to a peak of four publications in 2021 and again in 2024.
