The Anaerobic Digestion team is attempting to address the problem of organic waste by degrading it in the absence of oxygen. The technique of anaerobic digestion produces two usable products, Biogas and Digestate. The team has tried to address the problems created by various wastes, including the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (kitchen waste and vegetable waste), Weeds (Ageratum conyzoides, Lantana camara, Parthenium hysterophorus, Eichhornia crassipes, and Hydrilla verticillata), Agricultural residue (rice straw, Sugarcane Bagasse) and industrial...

The water group is a fairly recent group of WMRG which is actively involved in scientific research activities ranging from monitoring and treatment technologies of water and wastewater broadly. The research conducted by the water group includes groundwater to surface water monitoring, domestic to drinking water sources, industrial effluents to municipal sewage sources, and GIS-based spatio-temporal studies. Some studies in the team also include emerging environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, disinfection by-products, microplastics, polycyclic aromatic...
