The Water and Soil Lab at ATREE is the analytical foundation for translating chemical and biological data into nature-based solutions, thus advancing water science for resilient ecosystems. Led by Dr. Priyanka Jamwal, our team provides the evidence base for lake restoration, decentralised wastewater treatment, nutrient recovery and public health policy. By integrating high-quality laboratory data with advanced water quality modelling tools, we deliver actionable insights for sustainable urban and rural planning.
The lab supports interdisciplinary research across five interconnected themes: water resource management, nature-based solutions, contaminant fate and transport, public health and urban lake restoration. We approach water quality holistically, recognising that elements in the soil directly influence irrigation water, agricultural produce, and public health. Our collaborative efforts extend to working closely with local governance, including Panchayats and the BBMP Climate Action Cell, to implement sustainable blue-green infrastructure.
Our core workspace quantifies Nitrogen, Phosphorus, COD and BOD to design and evaluate effective ecological interventions.
Key research & applications:
We quantify trace metals in water, sediment and soil, supporting vital investigations into pollution flows and ensuring agricultural supply chains and aquifers remain safe.
Research outputs:
Enumerating indicator-bacteria alongside antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) phenotyping to identify water safety levels and proactively manage resistance genes.
Anchoring outputs:
The generated quality-assured measurements are designed to empower lake-restoration designers, municipal authorities, citizen groups, and state-level policymakers.
