Having a Bsc. degree in Agricultural Engineering, KSA then a master degree in Hydrology and Water Resources Management, KSA and then a master and a Ph.D. degrees in Biosystems Engineering, USA, he gained a wide background and experience in the science of irrigation engineering, agriculture, water resources management, biological engineering, agro-meteorology and environmental science, that made his areas of interests wide and multidiscipline. The main research interest could be in the following subjects or related disciplines:
- Crop water consumptive use
- Developing irrigation systems to conserve water in arid land agriculture
- Protecting water resources from pollution
- GIS and Remote Sensing applications in water resources management and protection from pollution sources
- GPS applications in water engineering and water resources management as well as irrigation water management
- Design and maintenance of irrigation systems
- Modern irrigation scheduling techniques for gardening and crops
- Precise irrigation
