Managing potential pathogens in stored rainwater using small-scale in-situ electrochemical activation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Rainwater can be a lifeline for many people who do not have piped water supplies, experience dry seasons, or live-in fresh water scarce areas. The quality of stored rainwater can deteriorate over time, due to increasing concentrations of contaminants...

A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India (2022)
Journal Article

The quality and health of many of our vital freshwater systems are poor. To tackle this with ever increasing pressures from anthropogenic and climatic changes, we must improve water quality monitoring and devise and implement more appropriate water q...

A systematic approach to understand hydrogeochemical dynamics in large river systems: Development and application to the River Ganges (Ganga) in India (2022)
Journal Article

Large river systems, such as the River Ganges (Ganga), provide crucial water resources for the environment and society, yet often face significant challenges associated with cumulative impacts arising from upstream environmental and anthropogenic inf...

Laboratory in-situ production of autochthonous and allochthonous fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria (2021)
Journal Article

This work investigates the origin and range of fluorescent organic matter (FOM) produced in-situ by environmentally sourced freshwater bacteria. Aquatic FOM is an essential component in global carbon cycling and is generally classified as either auto... Read More about Laboratory in-situ production of autochthonous and allochthonous fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria.

A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

With increasing pressures on water resources due to population, industrialization, agriculture, urbanization and climatic changes, improved temporal and spatial understanding of water quality is required. The development of new monitoring parameters,... Read More about A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India.

Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In a basin-wide survey of the River Ganga and key tributaries, from the Himalayan source to the Bay of Bengal in India, we aim to improve the conceptual understanding of downstream water quality trends along > 2000 km. Here we explore the spatial di... Read More about Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts.

Using in-situ sensors to quantify spatial variability in nutrient concentrations across the Ganges river basin (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is increasing interest in monitoring spatial variability in biogeochemical processes using field deployable sensors. Despite this, rigorous assessments of accuracy and optimal sensor configurations remain limited for such applications. We under...

Taking the pulse of Mother Ganga - Revealing the visible and invisible water pollution crisis along the Ganges River (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is probably hard to overestimate the significance of the River Ganges for its spiritual, cultural and religious importance. As the worlds’ most populated river basin and a major water resource for the 400 million people inhabiting its catchment, t...

Sediment and surface water microplastic contamination along the Ganges River, from the Himalayan foothills to the tidal reach downstream of Kolkata, India (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Twenty rivers have been estimated previously to account for almost 70% of global plastic emissions to the marine environment. Of these, the Ganges River was second only to the Yangtze River. Yet, scale and complexity of the Ganges River network make...

Microbial processing and production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a model freshwater system (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 by the authors. Organic matter (OM) has an essential biogeochemical influence along the hydrological continuum and within aquatic ecosystems. Organic matter derived via microbial processes was investigated within a range of model freshwater sa...
