Co-Investigator, Water Management

Works on integrated stormwater and blue-green infrastructure in dense urban catchments.
Dr Rajesh Kumar is a Co-Investigator working on integrated stormwater and blue-green infrastructure in dense urban catchments. His research treats the city as a watershed, looking for ways to slow, store, and clean water using parks, wetlands, and permeable surfaces rather than pipes alone.
He collaborates with water agencies to show how blue-green systems can ease the load on conventional drainage while adding shade, habitat, and public space. The result is infrastructure that does several jobs at once.
He is happy to discuss urban water management and partnership opportunities at r.kumar@ntu.edu.sg.
