Monitoring from space, aerial and in situ platforms in coastal regions will help develop models for interactions between ecological and anthropogenic processes, helping sustainable management of coast...
The Indian coastline sustains unique habitats that are subjected to increasing anthropogenic stressors. The National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR), engaged in addressing coastal concerns over thr...
The Indian coasts hold diverse geomorphological features—mudflats, rocky shores, cliffs, sandy beaches and deltaic reaches that shelter unique ecosystems. However, significant sections of the coastlin...

Water in the right quantity and quality is critical to the survival of aquatic biodiversity. Multiple threats take their toll, but uncontrolled and commercial exploitation by man has been the single-m...
Anthropogenic activities are primarily responsible for high groundwater nitrate which, beyond certain concentrations, can pose significant health problems. Judicious fertiliser, manure application and...
The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) was established in 1986 for development and regulation of inland waterways for shipping and navigation. The Authority primarily undertakes projects for d...
Despite being rich in natural resources Odisha is home to the poorest people of India. The government promises growth through development, opening up this region to rampant mining. The impact of this on water and other resources on the contrary is exacerbating the plight of the indigenous population. Is this then the way forward?
Water in the right quantity and quality is critical to the survival of aquatic biodiversity. Multiple threats take their toll, but uncontrolled and commercial exploitation by man has been the single-most damaging factor to species such as freshwater turtles of the Ganga. As an indicator species, freshwater turtle can provide invaluable information on the health of river Ganga’s ecosystem. Thus con...
Anthropogenic activities are primarily responsible for high groundwater nitrate which, beyond certain concentrations, can pose significant health problems. Judicious fertiliser, manure application and waste management could minimise groundwater nitrate pollution problems.
