Profile Summary 

Dr. Hitesh Upreti obtained his Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 2019. His Ph.D. was focussed on evapotranspiration analyses and soil moisture modeling in cropped area that can be used for irrigation scheduling. His present research interests include applications of remote sensing in hydrology, evapotranspiration, irrigation water requirements and use of implementable methods for the efficient management of available water resources.
