Key Technology DevelopmentTechnology development is being pursued in the following areas:
Low cost construction materials using waste materials
Activated Fly ash based binders for use as replacement of
cement in construction are being developed
Low-cost sensors for infrastructure monitoring
Embedded PZT-based sensors and sensing technology for intelligent monitoring of concrete structures
Embedded sensor developed at IIT
Hyderabad
Key Technology DevelopmentTechnology development is being pursued in the following areas:
Low cost water treatment solutions for safe drinking water
An innovative concept which integrates adsorption and oxidation by
development a tailor made activated carbon adsorbent with nano-metal
impregnation is being developed. Bio-waste like rice husk is being used
and optimization is being conducted to develop high surface required
Bio-reactor for effective treatment for effluent treatment
A novel Sequencing Batch Reactor with innovative features which
simplify operations for use by individual industries and small-scale
residential communities for treating effluent is being developed.
Key Technology DevelopmentTechnology development is being pursued in the following areas:
Framework for comprehensive integrated water management in urban cities of India
Adaptive robust decision making framework for managing water uses
among multiple stakeholders
Integrated hydrologic modeling, aquifer mapping, and watershed development
in a GIS-based framework developed at IIT Hyderabad
