The soil and Water Testing Laboratory of NERIWALM has been rendering technical services since its inception. The laboratory has been acclaimed globally for its torch bearing studies on groundwater contamination of Arsenic and heavy Metals in Assam and the North East India during the period 2003-2005, which opened up new horizons of groundwater research in this part of the country in terms of geo- hydrological and hydro-chemical perspectives. In recent times, the Laboratory took up the challenging studies on the physico-chemical behaviours of post November, 2017 extremely turbid Siang river phenomena and exposed the contamination of Aluminium and Iron in Siang river water and iron contamination in the Brahmaputra river.

The laboratory is fully capable of soil and water analysis in its quality, nutrient status and has been instrumental providing technical backups to a large number of NERIWALM’s and other institute’s R & D programmes, technical programmes, dissertation of students, Agri-preneurs, Tea gardens, farmers, water industries and other stakeholders in water sector.

Besides, the laboratory has been offering week long self- financed training and certification programme on Soil testing and Water Quality testing courses. Let’s look into the major and sophisticated instrumentation facilities of Soil & Water Testing Laboratory of NERIWALM.
