Research Areas
- Urban Growth Prediction & Land Use Change ModelingResearch Project | 2023Conducted spatio-temporal analysis of urban growth in Jaipur using satellite data (Cartosat
- Landsat 7 & 8).Applied Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) for analyzing growth variability and developed transition potential using calibration techniques.Implemented Markov Chain modeling to predict land-use change and validated the model against observed data.Created predictive urban expansion maps highlighting directional growth trends.Presented findings in peer-reviewed international conference.Rainfall Downscaling & Surface Runoff Projection under Climate ChangeInvestigated future surface runoff trends under changing precipitation scenarios using CMIP6 GCM outputs and Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM).Integrated projected rainfall with land-use and soil maps to derive SCS Curve Numbers and estimate surface runoff depths.Utilized GIS-based spatial modeling to visualize rainfall distribution and runoff depth trends across the study area.Groundwater Zone Assessment under Climate Change Implemented a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) to identify optimal groundwater recharge potential zones.Integrated nine key hydrogeological and environmental parameters
- including projected rainfall
- land-use change
- aquifer characteristics
- and drainage/lineament density
- into a weighted overlay analysis.Employed projected climate and land-use data to introduce a sustainability perspective in groundwater recharge zone mapping.Utilized GIS-based spatial analysis to prepare thematic layers and generate the final Groundwater Recharge Potential Zone (GWRPZ) map.Enhanced precision by superimposing stream order maps to identify specific and scientifically optimal sites for recharge well implementation.Demonstrated the value of AHP-OWA integration in improving decision robustness and spatial prioritization for groundwater sustainability planning.
