Water and Soil Lab
Welcome to the home page of the Water and Soil Lab, a dynamic and innovative research group
Water and soil lab at ATREE was established in April 2013.
Our broad mission is to carry out research on water quality issues. The laboratory is well equipped to measure and quantify various physical, chemical and biological pollutants in water and soil.
The lab consists of three units:

Projects:
1. Ongoing Projects:
- Strategic in-stream systems: A Decentralised anticipatory approach to wastewater contamination in Bangalore
- BES for the treating of wastewater and monitoring of effluent quality.
- Decentralized wastewater treatment-global innovation for sustainable rural communities.
- SunRISE
- Citizen’s dashboard for Bengaluru’s Lakes
2. Completed Projects:
- Adapting to Climate Change in Urbanising Watersheds (ACCUWa).
- Groundwater and sanitation nexus in Peri-Urban Small Towns of Bangalore.
- 2035 Vision for Sustainable and Equitable Water and Wastewater Management in Bangalore.
