Dry and wet extremes affect agricultural production, infrastructure, and socioeconomic well?being of about 1.4 billion people in India. Despite the profound implications of dry and wet extremes, their changes in the observed ...
Compound extremes of soil moisture drought and high vapour pressure deficit (atmospheric aridity) are disastrous for natural and social systems. Despite a significant expansion in irrigated area in India, the role of ...
Aspirations to slow down the spread of Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) resulted in unprecedented restrictions on personal and work-related travels in various nations across the globe. As a consequence, economic activities ...
Intensive irrigation in India has been demonstrated to decrease surface temperature, but the influence of irrigation on humidity and extreme moist heat stress is not well understood. Here we analysed a combination of in ...

Effect of bed roughness on flow field and turbulence characteristics due to spur dyke in rigid bed meandering channel is presented in this study. This is an extension of authors earlier work. In the experiments, cement ...
Drought is among the costliest natural disasters that affect the economy, food, and water security, and socio?economic well?being of about 1.4 billion people in India. Despite the profound implications of droughts, the ...
In the intial two decades of the twenty-first century, antibiotic (AB) resistance in human pathogens has emerged as a major challenge for water, sanitation, and public health. Considering these challenges, we critically ...
Understanding the sensitivity of water availability in the current and future climate in the Indian sub-continent is vital for food and water security. Using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model and Budykos ...
Climate change is likely to pose enormous challenges for agriculture, water resources, infrastructure, and livelihood of millions of people living in South Asia. Here, we develop daily bias-corrected data of precipitation, ...
Recent studies based on the ensemble mean of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) General Circulation Models (GCMs, CMIP6?GCMs hereafter) reported a decline in drought frequency over South Asia in the projected ...
Sewage sludge (SS) management has been regarded as a serious environmental and health issue around the globe, especially in developing countries like India, mainly due to the lack of proper regulatory criteria, and appropriate ...
This study presents a comprehensive open probabilistic seismic risk model for India. The proposed model comprises a nationwide residential and non-residential building exposure model, a selection of analytical seismic ...
Groundwater is rapidly depleting in India primarily because of pumping for irrigation. However, the crucial role of crop growth at annual and seasonal timescales in groundwater storage variability remains mostly unexplored. ...
