GBM-CLIMPACT: Development of an end-to-end modeling and analysis toolset to assess climate impact and readiness of water sector in the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna basins

Canadian PI: Dr. Martyn Clark                                   Canadian Institution: University of Saskacthewan Indian PI: Dr. Manabendra Saharia Indian Institution: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi Project Summary: The Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna (GBM) is inhabited by 700 million people and is of vital concern for the 5 countries these rivers encompass. Melting of glacier/snow, planned and existing […]

Use of deep learning models to understand the impact of climate and land use changes on future groundwater resources, with a focus on data scarce regions.

Canadian PI: Dr. Jan Franklin Adamowski                                             Canadian Institution: Mcgill University Indian PI: Dr. R.Maheswaran Rathinasamy Indian Institution: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad Project Summary: One of the Earth’s greatest freshwater reserves, GW contributes one-third of the world’s available water. Groundwater has long been supporting humans and ecosystems in the world’s arid and semi-arid regions. […]

Machine learning methods for water quality estimation and control in water resource recovery facilities: Towards Circular Economy and Sustainability

Canadian PI: Dr. Peter Vanrolleghem                      Canadian Institution: Université Laval Indian PI: Dr. Seshagiri Rao Ambati Indian Institution: Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) Project Summary: The efficiency of current wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is threatened by abrupt changes in the wastewater, strengthened environmental protection goals and is not reaping the benefits of the potential […]

Climate change impacts on the riverine thermal and flow environments under diverse climates of India and Canada

Canadian PI: Dr. Taha Ouarda                                   Canadian Institution: Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) Indian PI: Dr. Shaik Rehana Indian Institution: International Institute of Information Technology (IIT) Hyderabad Project Summary: River water bodies serve as prominent water sources for various purposes including waste load allocation and climate change is the most important driving force affecting […]

Reconfigurable platform for rapid autonomous quantification of pathogens in wastewater using PCB electrode-based assays

Canadian PI: Dr. Richa Pandey                                  Canadian Institution: University of Calgary Indian PI: Dr. Siddharth Tallur Indian Institution: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay Project Summary: Whilst limiting close human contact and social activity were highly effective in reducing transmission levels of virus outbreaks before vaccines were widely available, these measures were difficult to meaningfully implement. […]

Phosphorous Recovery from Wastewater for Safeguarding Global Phosphorous Sustainability and Food Security: Denitrifying Phosphorous Accumulating Organisms (DPAOs) have the Merits.

Canadian PI: Dr. Qiuyan Yuan                                   Canadian Institution: University of Manitoba Indian PI: Dr. Prangya Ranjan Rout Indian Institution: Thapar Institute of Engineering Technology Project Summary: Phosphorus, a critical plant nutrient is produced through mining of phosphate rocks, which is a non-renewable natural resource. It is predicted that after a couple of decades, the phosphorous supply […]
