Accomplishments
Presented on 3rd December at the GeoSmart India Exhibition, sharing our technical work on River Interlinking Projects in India, I discussed how continuous hydrological modelling, supported by multi-decadal rainfall data, catchment processes, reservoir operations, and system-level water accounting—can improve the reliability of inter-basin transfer planning and guide optimal utilisation of surface water resources.
It was a privilege to represent Pioneer Foundation Engineers (P) Ltd. and demonstrate how integrated hydrology–hydraulics modelling, remote sensing datasets, and decision-support frameworks can improve planning for inter-basin water transfer systems.
Grateful to GeoSmart India for the opportunity and for bringing together hydrology, GIS, and water sector professionals on one platform.
