Modelling and evaluation of nitrate transit times in groundwater systems
Transit time distribution is one of the fundamental descriptors of flow and transport behavior of catchments. Intensification of agriculture and consequent anthropogenic inputs of nitrate rich fertilizers in agricultural ...
Evaluation Frameworks for Informed Multi-Site Multi-Variate Hydrological Assessment
The process of choosing a suitable hydrological model, calibrating it, and evaluating its performance poses intricate challenges for a modeler. The process of model selection is frequently influenced by the modeller's ...
Exploring Hydrological Processes, Modeling Decisions, and Deep Learning for Improved Hydrologic Assessment
Hydrological modeling is complicated by the intricate challenges and uncertainties associated with understanding hydrological processes. This thesis aims at answering some of the key research questions related to ...
Approaches to Regional Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Processes and Extremes
Regional analysis of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, precipitation), hydrological processes (e.g., runoff), and their extremes (e.g., drought, floods) is essential for various applications. The ...
Understanding Catchment Scale Processes: Hydrological Modelling and Information-Theoretic Approaches
Catchments are complex environmental systems, and they serve as the fundamental units
for hydrological classification. They are self-organizing systems whose form, drainage
network, ground and channel slopes, channel ...
Monitoring and Control of Intermittent Water Distribution Network
Millions of people in low and middle-income countries worldwide receive water only for a small fraction of the time in a day through piped networks. Even though the percentage of the world’s population with access to piped ...
Role of Physico-chemical Processes And Micro-structural Features in Influencing Moisture Loss and Engineering Properties Of Compacted Residual Soils Exposed To Environmental Relative Humidity
The moisture content of residual soils above the water table, and near ground
surface (≤ 6 m) is influenced by the environmental relative humidity (RH). The focus of
this thesis is to examine the physico-chemical and ...
GRACE-based Assessment of Climatic Controls on Hydrological Variables
Anthropogenic climate change is now well-established and is expected to have serious implications on Terrestrial Hydrologic cycle. This inspired scientific investigation to assess the impact of various climatic processes ...
Parameter Estimation to Determine the Groundwater Flow and Seawater Intrusion in a Coastal Aquifer of Karnataka, India
Seawater Intrusion (SWI) into the fresh groundwater aquifers is one of the major hydrological problems in coastal regions. This global issue is aggravated by increasing demands for fresh groundwater due to on-going ...
Land-Climate Nexus: Unravelling Compound Extremes From Multivariate Analysis To Transformer Networks
The interplay between land use and extreme hydroclimatic events is a crucial aspect of Earth system science, influencing water resources, ecosystem stability, and disaster risk management. Extreme hydrologic events often ...
