About

I work in Hydraulics & Water Resources Engineering (HWRE) with interests in hydrological/hydraulic modelling, water quality assessment, river systems, and decision support tools.

Highlights

  • GIZ-funded Barak River Basin Management Plan (KWMI, DPSIR)
  • Smart Laboratory on Clean Rivers (SLCR) – Secretariat & DSS initiatives
  • Hydraulic design vetting and consultancy (CPHEEO/IS codes)

Research Interests

  • Hydrological modelling (SWAT, HEC-RAS)
  • River basin planning and DSS
  • Water quality and treatment systems
  • Hydraulics and open channel flow

Projects

SLCR–DSS for Water Resource Management

Decision support workflows for river health and water management.

SWAT-driven agro-hydrological forecasting

In-season forecasting framework integrating climate inputs and crop models.
