== Abhijit Mukherjee ==

Abhijit Mukherjee work in groundwater exploration for suitable and sustainable drinking water sources in different parts of India and other parts of the world. These study areas suffer from poor groundwater quality or groundwater insufficiency. With his specialization in regional hydrogeology and groundwater contaminant transport, his students and he is engaged in understanding decadal-scale groundwater storage changes over Indian subcontinent, groundwater-seawater interaction at coastal areas of the Bay of Bengal, and groundwater quality evolution of the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin. He has also started a project on application of artificial intelligence techniques in predicting future groundwater availability in different parts of India. He has one of the very few hydrogeologists from Asia, who regularly collaborate with internationally acclaimed scientists from NASA, U.S. Geological Survey, British Geological Survey, MIT, Columbia University, KTH Sweden, University College London, Manchester University etc., in addition to working with reputed Indian and other Asian scientists. His researches on groundwater have been funded by Ministry of Earth Sciences, Ministry of Human Research Development, Govt. of West Bengal, GSA etc. The outcomes of the studies have been widely highlighted in media like Nature, Times of India, Anandabazar Patrika etc. He has developed the first regional groundwater flow model of the western Bengal basin and explored arsenic-safe aquifers in extensive parts of the Gangetic plains and delta. The findings have influenced the groundwater usage policy by Government of West Bengal (GoWB) and lead to invitation to author the GoWB Vision 2020 on drinking water.
