Research Intern

May 2021 – Apr 2022 · 11 mos · Kharagpur, West Bengal, India

As a research intern, I worked on water environmental assessment of Siltara and the surrounding region, Chhattisgarh, India, under the guidance of Prof. B C Meikap. In this project, present values of quality and quantity parameters of surface and groundwater resources in the study region were predicted. Later studied all the activities and the effluent loads affecting the water resources in the region and based on them, short and long-term measures were proposed to minimize the pollutant loading in the resources.
