The project involves a thorough examination of both groundwater and surface water sources. It includes the collection and analysis of hydrological data, such as precipitation patterns, river flow rates, groundwater levels, and aquifer characteristics. This assessment aims to determine the current availability of water resources in drought-prone areas. In addition to assessing water quantity, the project focuses on evaluating water quality parameters. This entails analyzing various physical, chemical, and biological indicators to understand the contamination levels and overall health of the water sources. It involves studying factors such as pollutant concentrations, microbial contamination, and the presence of harmful substances in the water bodies.

The project is not only limited to studies and publications but it is designed to partner with potential partners to provide water to the local population of the research areas.

"Water is a precious resource, and in areas vulnerable to drought, its assessment and management are paramount. Through comprehensive evaluation of groundwater and surface water availability, coupled with water quality mapping, we strive to illuminate the path towards sustainable water resource management. Our project aims to empower communities, policymakers, and stakeholders with the knowledge and strategies needed to safeguard water security in the face of drought. Together, let us preserve this invaluable lifeline for future generations."
