  CUI Yuanlai, editor-in-chief of Water Saving Irrigation, and a member of the editorial board, is a professor (T2) and doctoral supervisor of Wuhan University. His main research interests include water-saving irrigation and its environmental effects, optimal planning and management of water resources systems, and modernization of irrigation and drainage systems. As a holder of The State Council Special Allowance and the Ministry of Education New Century Excellent Talent Support Program, he has received the First and Second prizes of National Science and Technology Progress Award once for each, and 18 scientific and technological awards at provincial and ministerial levels. He has presided over more than 120 projects, including key and general programs of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and 948 projects of the Ministry of Water Resources, published more than 360 papers (more than 100 SCI indexed papers), 5 monographs, 3 national and ministerial specifications, and more than 10 invention patents. 



  ZHA Yuanyuan, Deputy Editor-in-chief, associate professor, doctoral supervisor, Wuhan University. He received his bachelor's degree in Agricultural Water Conservancy Engineering from Wuhan University (2008) and his doctor degree in Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering from Wuhan University in 2014. From 2012 to 2015, he carried out joint training and postdoctoral research in University of Arizona, USA. From January 2016 to February 2020, he served as special associate professor at School of Water Resource and Hydropower Engineering of Wuhan University. He has been an associate professor since March 2020. He is mainly engaged in research and teaching related to groundwater, soil water and agricultural water environment. Main areas of interest include: 1. Efficient numerical algorithms for soil water, groundwater and solute transport: he has developed a non-iterative primary variable switching and related soil water efficient algorithms, which make up for the shortcomings of existing models, published four software copyrights, and applied it to the prediction of soil water and salt movement in Hetao and other large-scale irrigation districts in China; 2. Data Fusion, data assimilation and hydraulic tomography of soil water and groundwater: he uses data fusion algorithm for mine data value, identify model uncertainty factors and soil spatial structure and improve model prediction accuracy and reliability. Finally, it is applied to the prediction and management of groundwater over-exploitation in North China, agricultural non-point source pollution in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River, groundwater remediation at Tucson Airport, and thermal remediation of organic contaminated sites in China. 3. Precision agriculture: using new observation means such as satellites, unmanned aerial remote sensing and Internet of Things (IoT) soil water-heat-salt sensors, combined with crop mechanism models and machine learning and deep learning algorithms, he makes precise diagnosis and prediction of agricultural water-fertilizer management and crop response, and developed deep-learning-based software for identifying crop diseases and pests, which is integrated into the ET Agricultural Brain Management System. This is applied to water, fertilizer and medication management of crops such as sugar cane in Guangxi, rice in Hubei and lettuce in Fujian Province. He has published more than 100 papers and 2 monographs. As the project leader, he has presided over 3 National Natural Science Foundation projects (including 2 General Programs, 1 Youth Foundation), 2 national key research and development plan subprojects. He won the first Prize of Science and Technology Progress in higher Education institutions of the Ministry of Education, the third prize of Guangxi Science and Technology Progress Award, the outstanding doctoral thesis of Hubei Province. He was appraised as one of the 351 talents of Wuhan University, "Luojia Young Scholar", and honored as the young talents of the State Key Laboratory of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Science "Evolution Project" young talents. Also, he is the outstanding reviewer of Journal of Hydrology. He won first prize of "Water Conservancy Youth (English) Scientific Paper Competition" of Chinese Hydraulic Society, "Chutian Sholars" of Hubei Province and other awards and titles. He is deputy editor of Geofluids, an SCI Journal, reviewer of Water Resources Research and Journal of Hydrology.



  Guan Liangbao, Deputy Editor-in-chief, associate senior editor, member of Rural Water Conservancy Professional Committee of China Water Conservancy Society, director of Hubei Province Editology Society for Science Periodicals, and director of Hubei Periodicals Association. He received his bachelor's degree in Electrical and Mechanical Drainage and Irrigation Engineering from Wuhan University (School of Water Resources and Hydro-power Engineering) in 1985, and completed the refresher course of information science at Wuhan University from 2001 to 2003. Since 1985, he has been engaged in editing of the journals China Rural Water and Hydro-power and Water Saving Irrigation, and became the Deputy Editor-in-chief of Water Saving Irrigation in 2010. He made a lot of contribution in the theory and practice of editing scientific and technical journals and the high-quality construction and development of journals, and has published 6 papers in domestic core journals.。
