Purdue Hydrologic Impacts Group (PHIG)

Quantifying environmental change impacts to water resources using data analysis, sensors, remote sensing, statistics, modeling, and machine learning.

About PHIG

Our research group consists of two faculty members and their graduate and undergraduate research assistants, post-doctoral researchers, and staff focusing primarily on the hydrologic impacts of environmental change at a range of scales, through the use of in-situ data collection, remote sensing and hydrologic models.

Phase 2 installation of our subsurface drip irrigation system at the Agronomy Center for Research and Education (ACRE) is complete.  PVC supply lines have been connected in trenches and connected to the perviously installed drip tape. Next comes the control shed, power and checking that the connections are water tight.
