Dr. Manish Kumar is a faculty at Discipline of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. He earned his Ph.D in Environmental Engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan, and has received several prestigious awards and fellowship, such as Water Advanced Research and Innovation (WARI) Fellowship, Faculty Research Award, Best Research Award (IWA), Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) foreign research fellowship, Brain Korea (BK)-21 post-doctoral fellowship, Monbukagakusho Scholarship, Linnaeus-Palme stipend from SIDA, Sweden, Research Fellowship from CSIR, India. Dr. Kumar is active in the fields of Hydrogeochemistry, Contaminant transport and modeling, Metal speciation, Isotope fingerprinting, Emerging contaminants and Water Management. He served as Principal Investigator (PI) for International Collaborative Projects funded by organizations like Asia Pacific Network, DST-JSPS, UKIERI etc. He is the associate editor of Groundwater for sustainable development (Elsevier) and Hydrological Research Letters and has more than sixty international journal publications and three edited books to his credit.

Dr. Daniel D Snow is a research professor in the University of Nebraska School of Natural Resources, and director of the Nebraska Water Sciences Laboratory, a part of the Nebraska Water Center and Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute. He has been a researcher at the University of Nebraska since 1990, and has co-authored over 100 articles on topics ranging from pesticide and antibiotic occurrence in surface and groundwater to uranium-series isotope geochemistry. His research focuses on the uses analytical chemistry to help understand how water becomes contaminated and what we can do to prevent it. A good part of his work in the Water Sciences Laboratory involves creating analytical methods for new or "emerging" environmental contaminants like steroids, pharmaceuticals, algal toxins, explosives and
