Mapping policy for solar irrigation across the Water– Energy–Food (WEF) Nexus in India
February 4, 2019 to May 31, 2019
| Completed Project
| Energy
This paper seeks to assist policy-makers and researchers in India who are working to promote the uptake of offgrid, solar-powered pumps for groundwater irrigation (“off-grid solar pumps”). Implementing such policies can be challenging because of the complicated interconnections between water, energy and food—often referred to as the “water–energy–food nexus” or WEF nexus.

Does the air quality from the crop residue burning in the close proximity to residential areas adversely affect respiratory health?
November 16, 2018 to November 15, 2019
| Completed Project
| Air
Crop residue burning (CRB) is a recurring problem, especially during the months of October-November, in the north-western regions (Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh) of India. In 2018, TERI initiated a study to assess the rise in cases of respiratory illnesses with a corresponding increase in PM2.5 concentrations in the farming community of six villages in Patiala district of Punjab.
Assessment for aggregating DSM opportunities at utility level amongst industrial consumers for low carbon growth
October 2, 2018 to October 31, 2019
| Completed Project
| Energy Efficiency
There are several energy-efficient (EE) technologies that can be adopted by industrial consumers to save energy and reduce their electricity demand. Demand aggregation is a critical step in the development of a utility's Demand Side Management (DSM) program.
