Water in the Anthropocene Laboratory
How will catchments respond to changes in environmental conditions?
How do we plan for water resources under deeply uncertain conditions? We work on these questions using data driven modeling frameworks. Hydrologic modeling for changing environmental conditions: my thoughts
A perspective on role of climatic uncertainties in decision analysis for large scale water infrastructure projects

Group updatesJune 2023: Akshay received a prize of $300 from AGU Catchment Hydrology Technical Committee for his graphical abstract on the work related to prioritizing environmental flows in operations of large multi-purpose reservoirs. Mention in AGU's Hydrology Newsletter for July 2023.
April 2023: Manvitha presents her work on 'Quantifying the sensitivity and stability of the performance of a multi-purpose reservoir to model, inflow, and operational uncertainties' at EGU 2023. February 2023: Riddhi Singh participates in the interactive planning workshop titled 'Irrigation management: Focus on distributary and minor network' organized by the Unnat Maharashtra Abhiyan (UMA) cell at IIT Bombay. February 2023: Manvitha's work on A source tracking framework for attribution of reservoir fluxes in multi-reservoir systems accepted in Journal of Hydrology. Manvitha develops a computationally inexpensive framework to gain a preliminary understanding of the water quality implications of inter-basin water transfers. January 2023: Riddhi Singh contributes an article on Water Resources Planning Under (Deep) Uncertainty in Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Environmental Science. October 2022: Anav's work on 'Improving rainfall-runoff model reliability under non-stationarity of model parameters - a hypothesis testing based framework' published in AGU's Water Resources Research. October 2022: Lakshmi's work on developing a parsimonious model to predict groundwater levels in Hyderabad is published in Springer's Book on 'Groundwater and Water Quality Hydraulics, Water Resources and Coastal Engineering'. June 2022: Akshay received the best presentation award in the 2nd International Conference on 'River Corridor Research and Management' held during 30th May to 1st June 2022.

Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

Explore the water around
I received a Bachelor of Technology degree in Civil Engineering (May 2009) from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, India. My interest in water resources motivated me to pursue a Masters degree in Civil Engineering specializing in Water Resources (December 2010) from The Pennsylvania State University, USA (Penn State). I continued my graduate studies towards a PhD in Water Resources (July 2013) from Penn State under the guidance of Prof. Thorsten Wagener (now at the University of Bristol, UK). My graduate work focused on developing frameworks to address the challenges in the assessment of hydrologic response of watersheds to climate and land use change.
After completing my PhD, I worked as a Post-doc (August 2013 to June 2014) with Prof. Klaus Keller and Prof. Patrick Reed in the network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM). I applied decision analysis methods to identify suitable management strategies for ecosystems undergoing change and susceptible to threshold based response. From July 2014 onwards, I worked at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad as Assistant Professor until Oct 2017. Presently, I am at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, where I continue to work in the areas of hydrologic modelling, climate and land use change, decision making under uncertainty and topics related to hydrology in India.
