Water and Land Conservation and Reclamation
 Among the missions of OALS is the promotion of methods for water and land conservation and reclamation through applied interdisciplinary research. Projects that OALS researchers are actively engaged include examination of the fates of emerging contaminants during wastewater treatment in natural systems, environmental fate of endocrine disrupting compounds in biosolids after land application, efficacy of “smart” irrigation control for residential landscapes, promotion of biodiversity conservation via drug discovery in native plants, and watershed data collection and assimilation to promote semiarid watershed management. Undergraduate and graduate students from several UA academic departments in the Colleges of Agriculture and Engineering participate in these research activities.
