WELL Labs is three years old. Veena Srinivasan, our Executive Director, writes about the journey, and what we have learnt from it in a series of blogs. This is part one of seven.

Hydrogeologist Vivek Grewal unpacks the basic science of groundwater and how groundwater behaves in the Indo-Gangetic region.

Raichur’s resilience to climate change is not built on a single path, but through the conscious navigation of multiple, co-existing hydro-social pathways. This makes the landscape of possibilities visible so that communities, researchers, and policymakers can together decide which futures to pursue.

Veena Srinivasan and Gayathri Muraleedharan join host Pavan Srinath to unpack the nature of Bangalore’s water crisis — what caused the severe summer crisis of 2024, why similar crises may recur, and what the city can do to avoid lurching from one groundwater emergency to the next.

India Research Corps aims to close the evidence gap in the water sector by curating critical research questions that have a clear pathway to impact, and matching them to early-career research scholars, who then produce action-oriented knowledge.

John Thompson, a leading researcher in development studies and sustainability, joins host Arjuna Srinidhi to unpack the idea of “Pathways Approaches” and what it means for building climate resilience in complex systems.

Seed treatment is a simple, low cost, and highly effective method of improving seed germination, root health, and nutrient uptake across cotton, maize, pulses, and vegetables.
