<p class="MsoNormal">Bio and Current Work<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am Chandan Kumar Singh, working as a postdoc at Sierra Nevada Research Institute (SNRI), UC Merced. I am working on Central Valley (California) hydrologic modeling under (Food -energy-water-system) INFEW project. One of the key aspects
of this INFEWS project is modeling the central valley (California) under different land/crop and water management scenarios. My earlier contribution was to assess and design of groundwater level monitoring network for Wainganga basin, India.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">My research aims at providing a methodology for designing groundwater level monitoring network in a complex aquifer system. Probably, the important contribution of my study was to
formulate a methodology that made use of existing field data and various optimization approaches in RS and GIS environment.
