Water Group

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 hydrocarbons, etc. The current focus of the group has been to research high-strength wastewater treatments using anaerobic filtration, electrocoagulation, chemical coagulation, primary settling tank, and application of some natural wastewater treatment techniques such as constructed wetland and vermi-filtration. The current research is also focused on the treatment and characterization of fresh landfill leachate using electrocoagulation and a landfill simulator set up in the laboratory.
