Chinese water researchers meet HARRISBURG Two engineers from China’s Ministry of Water Conservancy have arrived here to begin a four-week trip across the United States to study U.S. ap plications of remote sensing in crop forecasting and agricultural hydrology. They met with Soil Conservation Service personnel here last week. Quentin M. West, director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of International Cooperation and Development, said the engineers are the first of 11 ex change teams the Chinese will send to the United States this year under the agreement of cooperation in science and technology signed by the two nations in 1979. The United States will send 12 scientific exchange teams to China in 1981, West'said. Where'S The Water? In Our 200>Gallon Stock Tank!

West said that the scientific exchanges between the United States and the People’s Republic of China would benefit both coun tries. “The Chinese have had many centuries of experience in dealing with soil conservation, land juse and related agricultural ‘ac tivities,” he said. “We can leam from each other.” The Chinese team is spending its first week here in discussions with USDA’s Soil Conservation Service. West said the Chinese are in terested in technical aspects of activities in which SCS is involved with regard to hydrology, watersheds and riverbed technology and the AgRISTARS project. with SCS staff in Harrisburg AgRISTARS Is the acronym for a joint research- program for agriculture and resource inventory surveys through aerospace sen sing. Cooperating agencies include USDA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Depart ment of Commerce, Department of the Interior and the Agency for International Development.
