Aguilar receives national award for extension and outreach
Jonathan Aguilar, associate professor at K-State s Southwest Research Extension Center in Garden City, has received the Mid-Career Award for Extension/Outreach/Engagement from the Universities Council on Water Resources.
The award recognizes outstanding contributions through extension, outreach and engagement activities related to water. He will be formally recognized at the UCOWR annual conference in June 2021. I am honored and humbled to receive this award, and I accept it on behalf of the farmers who are working to conserve water resources while still feeding so many, both here and abroad, Aguilar said.
Aguilar specializes in water resource issues, particularly as they pertain to the irrigated agriculture in western Kansas. His extension and research programs are focused on crop water allocation, irrigation scheduling and management tools, and irrigation technologies like mobile drip irrigation and subsurface drip
