As fresh water becomes more scarce due to population growth and climate warming, both of which are projected to increase over the coming decades, ecohydrologist Lixin Wang of the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis is investigating how non-rainfall water sources—especially fog and dew—impact drylands with important implications for their agriculture. His work is supported by a new CAREER award from the National Science Foundation.
