Water Research Lab
About Lab
Water research provides multidisciplinary research in water resources, management, and the development of tools for environmental management and sustainability for improving aquatic and atmospheric environments. Our research addresses the risks of water quality and quantity in groundwater, surface water, river basins, and coastal zones. The research includes an analysis of the climatic drivers of water-related risks, impacts, and mitigation responses.
Instrumentation facilities
The laboratory offers excellent facilities for detailed analysis of trace and heavy metal contaminants, cations, and anions in soils and waters. The instruments include a computerized UV spectrophotometer, a high-speed centrifuged machine, and a UV chamber. Additional instrumentation includes pH meters, EC, DO, TDS, constant temperature baths, etc. In addition, the Central Science Laboratory of the University is located in the same building and is equipped with all modern instrumental facilities, including AAS, gas chromatography, HPLC, etc.
