In the Indo–Gangetic plains (IGP), the inter–basinal area between the Ganga in east and the Indus in west is currently devoid of any major drainage. A wide paleochannel belt, the Ghaggar-Hakra channel, has been mapped in ...
Over the last decays, soil and water pollution resulting from land degradation has led to strong impacts on the epoch of Anthropocene with unknown dimensions and large costs for society. In some cases, clear links have ...
Chemical composition of river water is vital to assessment of water quality for irrigation, agriculture and domestic usage. Chemical attributes of riverine water primarily governed by natural weathering of rocks have become ...
The current work reviews the state of Indian water quality under the climate change regime. Rising temperatures will lead to higher concentration of pollutants like nutrients (nitrates, phosphates etc.), persistent organic ...
The developing economies are facing water problems at a massive level. At present, coining the term water crisis is trending, either it�s United Nations or Indian Government officials have used it enormously. Whenever there ...
The present book chapter discusses the mechanism of Arsenic and Fluoride release in the groundwater and its related toxicity. The use of spatial modelling techniques involving machine learning classification algorithms can ...
With time new methods/technique developed for clean/portable as same, it is essential to authenticate them. In this chapter the discussion on what is the disadvantage of tertiary treatment including harmful disinfection ...
In this chapter, we give a brief overview on occurrence of antibiotic resistance gene in WWTP based on previous studies conducted in several countries. Then, we describe our initial effort in antibiotic resistance gene ...

The impact of increased temperature on the Third Pole, as the Himalayas is referred to, and the likely cascading impacts on the general downstream hydrology have been widely noted. However, the impact on fluvial geomorphology ...
Despite the abundant literature on metal contamination through road dust (RD) in urban/suburban and residential/highway regions, the RD of highways traversing through the Kaziranga National Park, NE India, has not been ...

The present work focuses on understanding the provenance, prevalence and health perspective of As and F? along with possible co-occurrence of uranium (U) in the aquifers of the Brahmaputra floodplains (BFP), India. Groundwater ...
Fluoride (F-) is a geogenic contaminant which is reported to be hazardous for human health. Considering the present groundwater F- contamination scenario particularly in India, development of a technology for efficient F- ...
In the present investigation, perennial grass (Saccharum ravannae L.) based activated biochar was synthesized for possible application in both arsenic (As) and fluoride (F?) removal from aquous solution using optimization ...
In this work, we present a completely new dataset of Rare Earth Element (REE) distribution and fractionation in the groundwater and sediments of the world's largest populated river island-Majuli, located in the Brahmaputra ...
Multi-drug resistant microbes, pathogenic viruses, metals, and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water has become the crux of urban sustainability issues. However, vulnerability due to pollutant ...

The imprints of fireworks displays on the adjacent water body were investigated from the perspective of cogeneration of black carbon, metals and perchlorate (ClO4?). In particular, the mixing and dissipation of ClO4? were ...
Island populations are rarely studied for risk of arsenic (As) poisoning. As poisoning, multimetal contamination and people�s perceptions of health risks were assessed on India�s Majuli Island, the largest inhabited river ...
