Water Resources & Environmental Technology
M.Tech (Water Resources and Environmental Technology)

N.V.S. Sri Rekha Panchagnula is a dedicated Water Resources Engineer with an MTech in Water Resources & Environmental Technology from JNTUH and a graduate in civil engineering, passionate about leveraging advanced computational techniques to solve real-world water challenges. Her project for the dissertation thesis is in developing sophisticated modeling solutions using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms for reservoir operations and creating Python-based groundwater simulation models that provide actionable insights for water resource management.

Her technical toolkit includes proficiency in industry-standard software such as EPANET for hydraulic modeling, ArcGIS for geospatial analysis, CROPWAT for irrigation planning, and ANSYS for engineering simulations. Her experience in teaching at Vasavi college of engineering as assistant lecturer made her enthusiastic and broadened her perspective and lead to innovative cross-domain research. She has developed strong programming capabilities in Python, C++, and C, enabling her to create custom analytical tools for complex water resource problems. Her field experience encompasses advanced surveying techniques using Total Station and Theodolite, complemented by laboratory analysis and statistical modeling expertise. Additionally, she gained teaching experience by assisting with courses and mentoring undergraduate students, which develops communication skills and deepens her own understanding of fundamental concepts.

Throughout her education, she has successfully tackled diverse water management challenges, from optimizing multipurpose reservoir operations for enhanced irrigation and hydropower efficiency to designing urban groundwater recharge strategies for metropolitan areas. Her practical experience includes collaborating with municipal corporations and state authorities on critical infrastructure projects, such as redesigning drainage systems for flood management in Ongole Municipal Corporation and contributing to state-level water budget planning for Mizoram.

What drives her is the opportunity to translate complex technical analysis into tangible solutions that address contemporary water scarcity, flood management, and sustainable resource allocation challenges. She believes in combining cutting-edge computational techniques with practical engineering approaches, always focusing on delivering measurable improvements in water system efficiency and infrastructure resilience. Her goal is to continue contributing to innovative water resource solutions that make a meaningful impact on communities and sustainable development.
