BigM) When did you start your current research/work on the research topic? Please describe the focus of the research as well and please be specific?

Dadi:  I started research in geospatial technology in 2012 with Geo engineering department, Andhra University. The focus of my research is the use of satellite remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning systems (GPS) in monitoring and managing natural disasters. I started version in 2016 and focuses on the importance of creating public awareness, improving capacity-building and resilience, and implementing technology-driven disaster management strategies to reduce the loss of human life and property caused by disasters. The research also highlights the value of geospatial technologies in creating detailed maps and in developing disaster preparedness and mitigation measures. It seems that the research includes case studies examining the use of remote sensing, GIS, and GPS in the management of various types of disasters, including cyclones, coastal erosion, and industrial disasters. Also, my research on-point focus is the development and use of a system called Hydrospatial Analysis Information System (HAIS) for the spatial analysis and assessment of groundwater quantity and distribution. The research also compares the performance of HAIS to other software tools for groundwater analysis in terms of processing time and memory occupation. The research seems to involve the analysis of software requirements and technical specifications for HAIS, as well as the design of the system’s overall flow and algorithms. 

BigM) Why did you start your current research? Please be specific and give any relevant dates/years.  

 What motivated you?   

Dadi:  As a resident of India, I have always been concerned about the issue of declining groundwater levels in some parts of the country. In my home region, access to clean drinking water and sufficient water for agriculture has always been a challenge, and I have seen first-hand the impact that this can have on communities and the environment. However, it wasn’t until I learned more about the challenges faced by some parts of the country with low levels of groundwater that I became motivated to try and find a solution to this pressing problem. It is indeed the case that some parts of India have low levels of groundwater resources, which can be a challenge for meeting the water needs of the population for drinking and agriculture. Over-extraction of groundwater, inadequate rainfall, and climate change are among the factors that have contributed to declining groundwater levels in certain parts of the country.

BigM) What were you doing before you started your current research?

Dadi:   After completing my undergraduate studies, I decided to pursue a master’s degree, with a focus on using information and communication technologies I was a senior full stack web developer at CSX. Prior to that, AgFirst Farm Credit Bank, Chubb Insurance, a Equifax, Retail Insight-Crossmark. Proven track record of creating and implementing complex technology solutions. I was interested in exploring the use of geographic information systems (GIS) and other geospatial technologies to map and understand the spatial distribution of groundwater and to identify ways to manage and protect these vital resources.

BigM) If your childhood or early family life has informed your choice in terms of your life as a researcher/scientist and/or the focus of that work, please let us know of any common themes?

Dadi:  As the son of a food and adulteration inspector in Andhra Pradesh, India, my father has always emphasized the impact of contamination and pollution on human health and the environment, including specific health risks associated with consuming contaminated water. He has taught me about the ways in which the environment can affect human life and the earth as a whole.” 

By researching the types of contamination present in ground level water sources in the region, it may be possible to identify patterns in the types of health problems that are being experienced by the population and guide efforts to address these issues. It relates to ground level water resources, is to identify the sources of contamination and pollution in the region. Understanding the causes of these issues can help policymakers and community leaders develop strategies for mitigating or eliminating them, which can protect the health of those who rely on ground level water sources for drinking, cooking, and other daily needs.

BigM) How did Covid affect the research you did for this most recent report in particular? If it did affect it, please be specific?

Dadi:  One major impact has been the increased demand for hand sanitizer and disinfectant products, which has led to a shortage of isopropyl alcohol, a key ingredient in many of these products. This shortage has in turn led to the use of alternative chemicals, such as methanol, to make hand sanitizer. Methanol is toxic if ingested and can cause blindness or death. There have been instances of people drinking hand sanitizer, mistaking it for alcohol, and becoming sick as a result. This has highlighted the importance of properly labelling and storing cleaning and disinfectant products, especially in places where children or vulnerable individuals may be present. Another impact of the pandemic has been the increased strain on water and wastewater treatment systems due to the increased use of cleaning and disinfectant products, as well as the influx of personal protective equipment such as face masks and gloves, which can clog pipes and equipment. 

BigM) Please describe those who will be helped by your work; please describe type of industry/person, locations, any other “goals” you have for the work you did in your research paper?

Dadi:  My research would be of benefit to a variety of industries and individuals working in the field of natural disaster management and water resource management. This includes government agencies, non-profit organizations, private companies, and researchers and academics working in related fields. The research will be particularly relevant for individuals and organizations working in regions prone to natural disasters, such as cyclones, coastal erosion, and industrial accidents, or in regions with low levels of groundwater resources and challenges in meeting the water needs of the population for drinking and agriculture. Also, my research is of interest to professionals in the field of hydroinformatics and geospatial technologies, as it involves the use of GIS and other geospatial technologies for mapping and understanding groundwater resources. .The implementation of this system not only improves the performance and efficiency of the clients but also optimizes the use of network resources for the benefit of all stakeholders.
