I am a PhD Scholar (Prime Minister Research Fellow) in the Discipline of Earth Sciences at IIT Gandhinagar, India. I am working under the supervision of Prof. Pranab K Mohapatra. My broad research area is Water Sensitive Indian Cities with a focus towards Drainage and Groundwater aspect.
My study focusses on stormwater drainage for water sensitive Indian cities. An integrative approach considering technology, spatial planning, society and governance to co-create a framework along with the stakeholders will be developed. The proposed study will be based on a rigorous GIS-based screening system to identify potentially acceptable stormwater collecting locations in urban areas (specifically for Indian cities). In addition, the effect of future demands based on climate change and resilience on drainage will be attempted. Along with, a methodology for quantifying groundwater recharge variability in space and time will be developed by defining and applying some analytical equations. The framework will be developed considering three Indian cities (Bhopal, Bhuj and Kozhikode). The whole framework would be based on the identification of key indices such that it can be replicated for other cities.
