Giridhar is presently Professor of Centre for Water Resources, Institute of Science and Technology, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad. He joined in JNT University, Hyderabad, in 2006 as Assistant Professor at Centre for Water Resources of Science and Technology, JNTUH, Hyderabad. His subject expertise involves Advanced Fluid Mechanics, Surface Water Hydrology, Rainwater Harvesting Structure, GIS & Remote Sensing, Geospatial Applications to Water Resources, Water Resources Simulation and Modelling lab. He is an academician having 19 years of teaching, research and administrative experience. He graduated in Civil Engineering from Nagarjuna University (1993) and did his M. Tech (Water Resources Development and Management) from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur (1995). He obtained his Ph.D in Civil Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in Hyderabad in 2007. He was Coordinator for the World Bank funded project TEQIP-III (Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme Phase III-IST, JNTUH) as well as coordinator for the Centre for Earth Atmospheric Weather Modification Technology CEAWMT, IST, JNTUH. He had worked as Coordinator for the World Bank funded project TEQIP-I and II. He also worked as Additional Controller of Examinations of the university from 2010 to 2014. His research interests are remote sensing and GIS applications to water resources, Integrated Water Resources Management, Watershed Management, Rainwater Harvesting and Urban Water issues. He has published 153 research papers in various National/International Journals/Conferences. He guided one Ph.D student and also guided 65 M. Tech dissertations. He has organized several National and International Conferences, workshops and training programme. He published four international proceedings and six national proceedings as an editor, nine training in the area of geospatial applications for water resources and environmental engineering. He is a member of Institution of Engineers and a member of various reputed professional bodies. He visited several countries for dissemination of his research outputs and for exchange of ideas at places like Los Angeles, USA (2008), Honolulu, USA (2008), Bangkok, Thailand (2009) and Hanoi, Vietnam (2010), USA (2015), Thailand (2016) and Sri Lanka (2016). He has participated in more than 50 conferences at National and International level on themes related to his subject expertise to share his views in the field of water resources. He is successfully completed nine R&D projects and is currently handling three research projects. With the funds received from the Central Ground Water Board, MoWR and AICTE New Delhi, he constructed 23 recharge bore wells in the University campus and every year more than 10.0 crore liters of rainwater is being harvested and recharged into the aquifers after proper filtration. He also constructed recharge structures at three ZPHS schools in Nalgonda, where fluoride concentration has considerably decreased from 7ppm to 1.5 ppm.
