About Me

I am Shubham Goswami, a joint Postdoctoral Research Associate at Biological Systems Engineering and Nebraska Water Centre, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA. My work focuses on coupling CLASSIM and MODFLOW to model groundwater nitrate transport. I completed my Ph.D. with Prof. M. Sekhar, Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc Bangalore) as a Prime Minister's Research Fellow (PMRF).

My doctoral research work is titled "Analysis of Groundwater Systems Using Lumped and Distributed Hydrological Models: Applications in Indian Tropical Region" which focuses on understanding groundwater dynamics and its drivers in various parts of southern India.

Significance of Work

In 2019, an international consortium of hydrologists enlisted twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology aiming to more coherence in scientific pursuits in the future and assist in the long-term quest to develop comprehensive new theories of hydrology. One of those problems focused on understanding the impact of anthropogenic activities on water and energy fluxes at the land surface and on the resulting groundwater recharge (Blöschl et al., 2019). This question is of practical interest for water and land management, and of theoretical interest related to the question of how water, vegetation and soils interact across multiple time scales. The question is very much relevant to India, being an agriculture-based economy where almost 30% of agricultural land rely on groundwater for irrigation (Suhag, On and Resources, 2016). Declining groundwater level trends over the last few decades are alarming and indicate mismanagement of groundwater resources.
