Gerlo Borghuis

Gerlo Borghuis, MSc, is a Lecturer specializing in Water Resources Management at Wageningen Environmental Research, part of Wageningen University & Research. His work focuses on irrigation systems, arable land productivity, and sustainable water management in agricultural contexts. He has collaborated internationally on projects addressing water scarcity, resource competition, and policy frameworks in regions like Jordan and Egypt.

Research interests include subirrigation technologies, evapotranspiration modeling, and the application of remote sensing tools like WaPOR for agricultural optimization. Key contributions involve analyzing biomass productivity data and exploring transformative water governance models to balance competing user needs.

Borghuis has co-authored peer-reviewed articles in journals such as Agricultural Water Management and Food Security, with a focus on bridging environmental science and policy solutions. His recent work evaluates advanced subsurface irrigation systems using Hydrorock blocks for orchards, emphasizing hydraulic properties and conductivity improvements.
