This team focuses on the assessment and sustainable management of agricultural water and soils. Its objective is to develop innovative solutions to preserve these resources in the face of pollution, degradation and climate change challenges. By combining modeling, remote sensing; assessment and field studies, the team proposes practical strategies to optimize water use, improve and preserve soil health and ensure the sustainability of agricultural and natural systems.

Research axes
- Development of technological responses with the development of innovative processes or management methods for the treatment of polluted water and soil (Phytoremediation, …. etc.). With optimization of the reuse of non-conventional water in irrigation, taking into account the assessment of risks and environmental impact.
- Technological innovation in the management of agricultural and forestry resources. Use of modern technologies (remote sensing, geographic information systems, smart sensors) to monitor and optimize the management of water and soil resources in agricultural and forestry areas.
- Identify and prevent soil degradation, by developing models to generalize specific measurements in space, and to establish forecasts according to different land use scenarios in the Aurès area.
- Study and reasoning of mineral fertilization and assessment of the chemical fertility of cultivated soils, with the development of local biofertilizers.
- Impact of climate change on water and soil resources. Analysis of the effects of climate change on water cycles and soil quality, and development of solutions to strengthen the resilience of agricultural and forestry systems to these impacts.
- Integration of precision agriculture, evaluation and development of smart irrigation techniques and models that conserve water and soil resources (arboriculture, cereal growing, etc.).
