#Patna Zone (capital of #Bihar) receive declined #rainfall over the last three decades.

[Suraj Bhagat, PhD @surajenv]

Excited to share insights from my research on #water #resource management in #Bihar!
1️⃣ How does this study aid #agricultural planning?
2️⃣ What are the #rainfall disparities across zones?
3️⃣ Which #forecasting models excel in #predicting rainfall?

Dr Suraj Kumar Bhagat, Assistant Professor, Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, has published a significant research paper titled “𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻” in the prestigious journal 𝙎𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨 (Impact Factor: 3.9, Q1).

Conducted in collaboration with researchers from Marwadi University, India, the study addresses a critical challenge in geotechnical engineering—the accurate prediction of expansive soil behaviour. These soils swell when exposed to moisture and shrink upon drying, often causing severe damage to buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.

Using an extensive database of geotechnical properties, the research evaluated Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Ridge Regression, and the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) model to predict soil swelling potential. The findings revealed that LASSO achieved the highest predictive accuracy (R² = 0.935), outperforming conventional approaches through its ability to identify the most influential soil parameters while reducing the impact of irrelevant variables.

Beyond advancing scientific understanding, the research offers a practical pathway towards faster, more cost-effective, and reliable infrastructure planning, reducing dependence on lengthy laboratory testing and enhancing public safety in expansive soil regions worldwide.

Dr Suraj Kumar Bhagat, Assistant Professor, Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, has published a significant research paper titled “Decoding Rainfall Challenges and Pattern Shift and Trends Using Decomposition and Autocorrelation Function Techniques” in the prestigious Q1 journal Earth Systems and Environment (Impact Factor: 4.7).

The study investigates nearly four decades (1984–2021) of rainfall and surface-water data across nine regions of Bihar, uncovering how climate variability is reshaping water availability and monsoon behaviour. Using advanced statistical techniques, the research reveals pronounced regional differences, with northern zones such as Darbhanga, Kosi and Tirhut experiencing greater rainfall variability and flood susceptibility, while southern regions, including Magadh, Bhagalpur and Patna show comparatively stable but often declining water resources.

This work provides a scientific foundation for strengthening flood preparedness, drought resilience, and sustainable water governance in one of India's most climate-sensitive regions.
