Work experience
Conducted basic and applied research studies since past 23 years period and contributed in developing methodologies, particularly for quantitative assessment of streamflow drought severity, drought vulnerability indices, a new climatic classification, modification of SPI & EDI classification, and a conceptual model for regional drought characterization. Some of the important contributions are briefly described below:Revised & proposed new classification of Standardizes Precipitation Index (SPI) and Effective drought Index (EDI); Proposed new index for quantification of vulnerability to drought;
