Weimar is situated in the East of Germany. It took us nearly 8 hours to reach there by bus. Last week the weather was cloudy and rainy but luckily, during the weekend the weather was fine so we were able to enjoy our trip. This 3-day trip was arranged by INCAS (INterkulturelles Centrum Aachener Studierender- Inter-cultural Center for Students in Aachen). I was accompanied with two of my friends and collegues from the department.

For my research topic I am focussing on urban development, in particular water quality and water supply. With past and recent data, I want to develop some scenarios referring to the future development of the cities of Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) and Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh). Therefore it is required to take water samples from different study areas all around the cities which are tested in the laboratory in detail. I take the water from public hand pumps, taps, rivers, lakes and private bore wells so I can cover nearly all sources where people in India get their water from.
