I am a Scientist working at
National Institute of Hydrology (A Government of India Society under Ministry of Water Resources), Roorkee - 247667 (Uttarakhand), INDIA. My research areas of interest are ground water resource estimation, modelling of unsaturated flow, and modelling of sea water intrusion (including application of hydrological models like SHE, SUTRA, FEFLOW, SWIM). Few of my technical papers are placed below in pdf format. Please see my bio-data for complete list of my publications. You can contact me for any further query or suggestions.
