Successfully concluded the one-week Advanced Training Course on “Isotope Hydrology” organized by the Hydrological Investigations Division of the National Institute of Hydrology jointly with BGS, UK, from May 11–15, 2026, with support from the UK Government.
The course brought together scientists, researchers, academicians, and water professionals from across the country for intensive sessions on isotope techniques and their applications in water resources assessment and management. The program included expert lectures, hands-on training, laboratory demonstrations, and case studies covering stable isotopes, tritium, groundwater recharge, contamination assessment, and data interpretation.
In the valedictory session, Dr. Gopal Krishan, Scientist E, presented the course report, and Dr. SD Khobragade, Acting Director, Scientist G, and Head of the Hydrological Investigations Division, highlighted the importance of isotope hydrology in addressing emerging challenges related to groundwater sustainability, climate variability, and integrated water resources management. Participants appreciated the interactive learning environment and practical exposure provided during the course. The certificates were distributed to the participants.
The institute extends sincere thanks to all distinguished experts, resource persons, organizers, and participants for making the program a grand success and for strengthening collaborative efforts to advance isotope hydrology research and applications in India.
