Mukherjee is regarded as one of the most well known hydrogeology in South Asia. He has done field-based and numerical research quality and quantity of groundwater-sourced drinking water availability across India have significantly contributed to the recent advancement of groundwater research in India. Mukherjee’s recent research work have significantly contributed to support and evaluate the Government of India (GoI) missions like MNREGA on groundwater rejuvenation in India (https://indianexpress.com/article/india/indias-falling-groundwater-storage-being-replenished-study-4792829/) groundwater pollution for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, understanding the flow of river Ganga for Namami Gange mission, etc. He has also authored the long-term groundwater policy and management plans for the Government of West Bengal as their Vision 2020 on drinking water.

Dr. Mukherjee’s research work on geological and human influences on groundwater pollution (arsenic, pesticide, sanitation-sourced fecal pollution) in the Indus-Ganga-Brahmaputra river basins has attracted wide national and international attention. He is regarded as the leading groundwater pollution expert in the country and serves as a member of Fluoride Task Force of Government of West Bengal. He was one of the first Indian scientists to propose a “Water Security Bill' for India. This led to his invitation in 2014 as Witness to the Estimate Committee of the Parliament of India. He and his students’ recent work on groundwater quantity variation across India specifically on recent groundwater rejuvenation in parts of the India, as consequence of government policy interventions, has attracted global acclamation and media coverage. This research provided unprecedented support to the Government of India missions in evaluating outcomes of missions like MNREGA on groundwater rejuvenation in parts of India. The work was also highlighted as the Image of the Day (September 22, 2017) in NASA website.

Awards and Recognitions[edit]

Mukherjee has been endowed with various awards for his exemplary work. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 2020. He has been awarded with Kharaka award which is bestowed annually to excellence in research in geochemistry. Mukherjee is elected to Geological Society of America International Committee (2020-24), 2019. He received the Faculty Excellence Award at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in the year 2018. The Newton-Bhabha Research Grant Award (as member of consortium), NERC(UK)-DST (India) was awarded to him in 2018.

• Young Scientist Award, International Association of Hydrogeologist-INC, 2015

• Graduate Research Award, Geological Survey of America, 2004

Books and Publications[edit]

Mukherjee is well known for his authoritative publications in some of the most respected subject journals published by the global publishers like Elsevier, Springer-Nature, Nature Publishing Group, AGU, Geoscience World etc. as well as books published by Springer, Elsevier etc.. These publications are primarily on groundwater systems across the globe. The journals includes Nature Geoscience, Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Hydrology, Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, Water Resources Research, Advances in Water Research, Science of Total Environment, Applied Geochemistry etc.

The books edited by Mukherjee like “Global Groundwater: Source, Scarcity, Security, Sustainability, Solutions” and “Groundwater of South Asia”, showcase the integrated and up to date knowledge on groundwater, ranging from availability to pollution, nation-level groundwater management to transboundary aquifer governance, and global-scale reviews to local-scale case-studies. Several of the countries in these studied areas host some of the densest population across the world and the highest global users of groundwater, e.g. India, USA, China, and Pakistan. The available groundwater is often extravagantly abstracted thereby characterizing much of the areas as under very high water stressed. Additionally, geogenic and anthropogenic pollution of groundwater pose larger uncertainty and constraints even on the available groundwater. Hence, the global to local-scale challenges highlights the need of creating solid evidence and knowledge-bases for integrated scientific and technological advances, as well as building policy and management capacities in order to adapt and evolve for the present day groundwater needs and potential groundwater demand for future generations in a sustainable manner.
