How to Access
Water Policy, Water (MDPI), WST, Water Practice & Technology and Environmental Monitoring and Assessment articles are open access or available via institutional access.
arXiv preprints (Hydrology, GangaWatch, sensor dataset) are fully downloadable.
News‑reported studies link to original journal articles (e.g. Microbiology Spectrum, Heliyon, research by IIT Roorkee) — usually accessible via DOI or publisher pages.
Would you like me to provide direct PDF links, or fetch DOI links for specific papers? I can also help you summarize key findings or data from any study you're most interested in. Let me know which aspects you’d like to dive deeper into!
