Research carried out by IIT Gandhinagar team has found increased groundwater recharge in south India between 1996 and 2016 due to increase in high-intensity rainfall during monsoon. But in the…
Researchers at IISER Kolkata have used a paper coated with nickel nanoparticles and model catalysts to split water to produce hydrogen gas. The flexible electrodes recorded 98% water-splitting efficiency and…
Researchers have used three bacteria species isolated from domestic sewage to remove chloropyrifos, an organophosphorous pesticide, from water and soil samples. The bacteria absorb the pesticide without leaving behind any…
IIT Bombay researchers have found that forest cover in Western Ghats is responsible for on average 25-30% of moisture to the southwest monsoon rainfall over Tamil Nadu. During monsoon deficit…
Researchers at CSMCRI have used functionalised seaweed nanocomposite to remove lead and chromium from wastewater. The adsorbed lead did not leach out even in low pH conditions. The nanocomposite was…
A year after the National Green Tribunal suspended the environmental clearance granted to the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO), the Expert Appraisal Committee (Infra 2) of the Ministry of Environment, Forests…
IIT Guwahati researchers have developed a superhydrophobic coating that can make the surface behave like a lotus leaf where water droplets roll off easily or a rose petal where the droplets stick…
Very heavy rainfall lasting for a few hours in urban locations in India has become more intense in the last few decades. Its frequency has increased by two-fold between 1979-2015.…
