Research Themes

Objectives

Groundwater Potential Zones

Development of an efficient technique integrating geological, geophysical, hydrogeological, and remote sensing data to map areas with high groundwater extraction potential, aiding sustainable management in water-scarce regions.

Saline Water Mixing

Saline Water Mixing Index (SWMI) to evaluate saline water mixing in aquifers, crucial for coastal regions facing seawater intrusion, enabling effective salinity monitoring and water quality protection.

Natural Backgrounds of Groundwater Pollution

Developing technique to estimate natural backgrounds of groundwater pollution, distinguishing natural from anthropogenic sources, improving groundwater quality assessment and management.

Entropy-Based Model for Groundwater Reserves

Development of entropy-based model to assess groundwater reserves, enhancing the accuracy of groundwater assessment and supporting sustainable management by addressing hydrogeological system uncertainties.

Hydrogeological Vulnerability Assessment

Developing interaction-based model to assess hydrogeological vulnerability, identifying high-risk areas and aiding in the implementation of measures to protect groundwater resources.
