Dr. Thomas Bridge is an emeritus professor of geology, Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas, USA. He received Ph.D. in geology from University of Texas in 1966. He has extensively worked as a teaching and research professor in the areas of General Earth Science, Mineralogy, Optical mineralogy, Petrology, Geochemistry and groundwater from 1966 to 1990. Dr. Bridge conducted many research investigations on the paleo earthquake, paleo river morphology, and surface and groundwater relationship in Kansas and adjacent states. Dr. Bridge jointly work with some of the AHWEEC's team members for finding the source, cause and solution to the arsenic disaster in Bangladesh, the largest environmental disaster in the history of human civilization. Dr. Bridge is one of the pioneer scientist for developing modern rainwater harvesting system in USA. He has been advising the AHWEEC/Humane Water's team members for developing sustainable water treatment technology for more than a decade.
Dr Agrama has compiled an impressive amount of training and expertise in plant genetics and applying of modern research tools in molecular breeding including genotyping germplasm accessions, gene mapping, marker-assisted selection (MAS), association mapping, genomic selection and development of innovative experimental designs. His techniques were applied to identify economically important quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with biotic and abiotic stress traits in many crops such as drought tolerance and nitrogen use efficiency in corn and arsenic problems in rice. The research that Dr Agrama has conducted combines genomic and agronomic performance information to improve the efficiency of plant breeding. His publications of more than 45 peer review articles have been published in many international journals. This record of outstanding scientific contributions showed that applied molecular and quantitative genetics became united with his conventional plant breeding experience. Dr. Agrama has been working with AHWEEC's team to find ways of reducing arsenic in agricultural irrigation water supply. The arsenic tainted agricultural irrigation water has been contaminating rice, vegetables, and fruits of vast areas of Bangladesh, India, Nepal and other arsenic prone nations for the last few decades. Dr. Agrama's expertise will help to solve water and sanitation problems of impoverished nations of Africa and other countries around the world.
Mr. Meer Husain is a professional environmental geologist with Kansas Dept. of Health & Environment anda former adjunct professor of geology at Wichita Area Technical College, Cowley College and Butler Community College, Kansas. He received an M.S. in geology from Emporia State University, Kansas, USA and an M.Sc. in geology from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Husain is the inventor of the "Mukti Water Treatment Technology" which treats arsenic, pathogens and other organic, inorganic contaminated water. Husain has been engaged on the investigation, remediation and monitoring of organic, inorganic and arsenic contamination projects for more than 25 years. Husain wrote many scientific articles regarding the source, cause and solution to the arsenic crisis and other contaminants disasters in Bangladesh and other countries. Mr. Husain presented many scientific articles in international conferences regarding the recent man made arsenic poisoning in groundwater and proper arsenic waste management from the arsenic removal filters in underdeveloped countries. Mr. Husain is currently conducting research in Bangladesh for developing "Underground Arsenic Removal Technology" for agricultural irrigation water supply.

4. Environmental changes following surface water scarcity
5. Outbreaks of environmental diseases in the wake of water scarcity
6. Climate changes due to water scarcity
7.Changes in downstream in flora and fauna following upstream water withdrawals
8. Rise of downstream malnutrition from upstream water diversion
9. Land-use and land-cover changes-induced environmental changes
10. Flood models in bayou basins
11. Downstream impacts from upstream dams and barrages on rivers and tributaries
12. History of environmental changes
Further studies are on near-geospace environment, best shelter from lightning strike, wind energy, etc. Dr. Adel has been working with the AHWEE's members for more than a decade for finding sustainable solutions to the arsenic disaster in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia and other developing nations.
