Saumitra Mukherjee is a professor at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. He received his MSc and PhD in geology from Banaras Hindu University. He started his scienti¤c career from the Central Groundwater Board, Government of India, in 1985 as a hydrogeologist. In 1989, he joined as a scientist in the Remote Sensing Applications Center, UP, in the Department of Space, Government of India. While working in these two organizations, he explored the di©cult terrain of India including the Himalayas, islands, Sundarban delta, and ravines of Bundelkhand for groundwater exploration and rainwater harvesting. In 1992, he joined in Jawaharlal Nehru University to establish the teaching of remote sensing applications in geology. He was a pioneer in Delhi and instrumental in the construction of check dams in the university to solve the water crisis in the water-starved terrain. He has guided 16 doctorate students in di§erent aspects of hydrogeology and remote sensing who are well placed in various organizations in India. He has authored 7 books and more than 75 international papers including
