Areas of Current Research Interest:

• Groundwater characterization of urban and peri-urban phreatic aquifers using integrated application of  hydrogeological and isotopic techniques.
• Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote sensing application in suitability and vulnerability assessment of water resource (both surface water and groundwater).
• Application of advanced Multi-Criteria Decision Making techniques in various environmental components.
• Advance Geospatial techniques in Geo-Database management for Sustainable development and management of Natural Resources.
