Sustainability of Water Resources : Impacts and Management, Paperback / softback Book

Sustainability of Water Resources : Impacts and Management Paperback / softback

Edited by Basant Yadav, Mohit Prakash Mohanty, Ashish Pandey, Vijay P. Singh, R. D. Singh

Part of the Water Science and Technology Library series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book covers a wide spectrum of water resources management, including water supply and demand, operation and maintenance of water distribution systems, water quality assessment, impacts of climate change on hydrological extremes, and water governance.

Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and population growth are the major factors contributing to a significant rise in water demands across all the sectors in India.

Although the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall contributes primarily to the available surface and groundwater resources, recurrent non-uniform/erratic rainfall events have resulted in widespread water scarcity.

On many occasions, extreme meteorological conditions trigger the severity of water-related disasters such as floods and droughts.

The untreated wastewater from domestic and industrial sources discharged through un-engineered means, adds to the issue as it ends up polluting the surface and groundwater resources.
