Location: New Delhi, India
Work: Hydrological Modelling, Water Resources Engineering, Cliamte Change, Environmental Flows, GIS
Biographical: Prof. A. K. Gosain, is a Professor in the field of Water Resources Engineering and GIS Technologies, in the Civil Engineering Department, IIT Delhi. Prof. Gosain has been associated with the research and development work in the area of hydrological modeling, water management, climate change impact assessment, Geographic Information System, and many allied areas. Some of the recent works of Prof. Gosain include a significant contribution to the NATCOM – national project undertaken by the Ministry of Environment and Forests for making the National Communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Prof. Gosain and his team undertook the segment on Vulnerability Assessment & Adaptation for Water Sector and quantified the possible impact of the climate change on the water resources by performing distributed hydrological modeling of the river basins of the country. He has also been spearheading the research on appropriate technologies for water resource planning and management, first through a UNDP funded project with the Department of Science and Technology, and recently through a Department for International Development (DFID) funded collaborative project “Low Flows” with the University of Newcastle, UK. Through these initiatives, Prof. Gosain is demonstrating the use of latest technologies of hydrological modeling and GIS for providing scientific backup and sustainable approach to our watershed interventions. Prof. Gosain has served on many prestigious assignments with the World Bank, IWMI, Sri Lanka, USAID and many Ministries and State Governments. Prof. Gosain has to his credit a very large number of sponsored research and consultancy projects. Prof. Gosain has to his credit about 90 papers published in refereed national and international journals and conferences Ten students have completed their Ph. D. under his supervision. He has delivered a large number of invited lectures in India and abroad. Invited lectures in Harvard, USA in 1999 and in Karlsuhe University, Germany in 1996 are the prominent ones. He introduced the GIS as an elective course in the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum of the IIT Delhi. He has also been promoting the philosophy of Open Source Code GIS with a view to make these technologies usable for the end-users of the water and agriculture sector who do not have any paying capacity for such expensive but very useful tools.
