ABOUT THE INSTITUTE AND THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Hydrology is one of the 23 academic departments of the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. The Department came into existence with the inception of the International Post Graduate Course in Hydrology in 1972, being the first such a program in a developing country. The courses, offered by the Department are presently sponsored by the Government of India and UNESCO. The Department has ten dedicated full-time faculty members having specializations in surface water hydrology (Floods, Droughts), water resources systems, watershed management, Geo-hydrology, groundwater geophysics, stochastic hydrology, hydro-informatics, environmental hydrology, atmospheric physics, climate change, etc.

International Workshop
The Department of Hydrology, jointly with the Centre for Nanotechnology, IIT Roorkee, India is organizing an international workshop on "Fostering Deep Membrane Science Research for Desalination, Brine Reclamation, and Resource Extraction (MemSci-Brine)," during 4-6th December 2024 at IIT Roorkee. The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) is one of the organizing partner institutes. The event is supported by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Govt. of India. This event is dedicated to recent developments in membrane technologies and their various applications in desalination, brine management, resources recovery, energy and water/wastewater purification. Pleased to inform you that Prof. Ho Kyong Shon (Editor-in-Chief of the Desalination journal from University of Technology Sydney, Australia), Prof. Alicia KJ An (HKUST) along with other eminent international and national speakers will be delivering key talks during MemSci-Brine event.
