Abstract

Combating drought to increase soil water retention in vineyards Professor Pete W. Jacoby, from Washington State University, researches methods to combat impacts of global warming by enhancing soil water retention for vineyard resilience. Drought has long been a serious threat to regions that depend on natural rainfall for crop production. For centuries, irrigation from surface water or wells has been applied to supplement natural rainfall to assure successful crop production, leading to estimates that agriculture accounts for 70% of global water use.
