MAJOR PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
DANIEL HILLEL
Research
1. Initiated earliest research on the water relations of the principal plant habitats in the
Negev desert. (1952-54)
2. Defined the processes of infiltration and runoff generation in the Negev as influenced by
topography, soil properties, and the natural formation of surface crust. Devised methods for
enhancing crust formation for the purposes of the inducement, collection, and utilization of
runoff as water supply for human use, animal husbandry, and crop production. (1953-56)
3. Investigated ancient methods of water harvesting by extinct societies and devised modern
methods to apply the principles of water conservation in arid regions. (1952-56)
4. Developed methods to improve infiltration and reduce evaporation from bare soils in
semi-arid areas so as to significantly increase water conservation and storage in rainfed
areas. (1958-60)
5. Pioneered in formulating and disseminating the then revolutionary concept of low-volume,
high-frequency irrigation, leading to the development and widespread adoption of
micro-irrigation techniques (e.g., drip irrigation). (1965-74)
6. Innovated methods for characterizing soil hydraulic properties in the field, including
the "crust test" and "instantaneous profile method." Such methods help greatly in monitoring
and controlling the balance of water in soils. (1968-71)
7. Developed a series of mathematical models for the quantitative analysis, simulation, and
prediction of water and solute dynamics in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. (1974-76)
8. Led the development of a dynamic model of root growth and of solute migration in the root
zone, accounting for photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, water uptake, internal
drainage, and groundwater recharge. (1976-80)
9. Invented a method for the conservation of moisture in semi-arid land by hydrophobization
of surface-zone soil aggregates, to the effect of maximizing infiltration while minimizing
evaporation and weed infestation. (1977)
10. Conceived and tested a theory explaining the conditions leading to the occurrence of
unstable flow in the vadose zone and its potential effects on the uncontrolled migration of
pollutants to groundwater. (1986-92)
11. Conceived and tested a theory explaining the conditions leading to the occurrence of
unstable flow in the vadose zone and its potential effects on the uncontrolled migration of
pollutants to groundwater. (1986-92) Publications
12. Wrote 12 definitive books that have been adopted as standard texts throughout the world,
and have been translated into 12 languages. (1967-1999)
13. Published over 200 scientific and professional articles and reports, which are widely
cited as seminal contributions to the fields of soil physics, hydrology, and environmental
science.
14. Wrote 4 award-winning popular books and scores of articles to explain environmental
issues to the general public. These contributions are cited in such publications as The New
York Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek, and National Geographic. (1982-99)
Service
15. Conducted first soil and land capability survey of northern Israel, thus providing the
basis for planning the agricultural development in the new state. (1951-1952)
16. Carried out the first survey of the agricultural development potential of the Negev
region and played a leading role in the settlement of the Negev highlands. (1954-56)
17. Taught courses and guided students in leading universities in the U.S. and abroad,
integrating physical and biological principles toward environmental awareness and
stewardship. (1966-99)
18. Played a leading role in international efforts to adapt innovative methods for the
efficient use of water in developing countries, on behalf U.N. Food & Agriculture
Organization, International Atomic Energy Agency, U.S. Agency for International Development,
& World Bank. (1971-99)
19. Served as first Science Advisor to the World's Bank newly established Department of
the Environment, providing criteria and guidelines for the sustainable development of
agriculture defining methods to prevent soil degradation and desertification. (1987-89)
20. Organized international conferences and spearheaded publications aimed at disseminating
information of water and land resources and their sustainable utilization. (1971-99)
21. Served on the international committee that planned and recommended the establishment of
an international center to the sustainable management of irrigation. (1979)
22. Prepared manuals for U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Bank, combining
theory with practice to improve land and water management. (1995-99)
23. At the World Bank, was first to draw attention to and write comprehensive reports on
global climate change and widespread land degradation. (1987-89)
24. Participated in advisory missions on soil amelioration in the Aral Sea region of central
Asia and on water supplies to drought-prone regions in Africa (1984-2004).
25. Served as advisor to the Earth Institute of Columbia University on water management in
the Middle East (2003-4); and on the Millennium Village Progam in Sub-Saharan Africa
(2004-5).
