Inhalt:
This book is designed to provide concepts, methodologies, and approaches for river basin studies with respect to water resources and environment. This book is not limited to the Yamuna River basin, but will help in the study of various other river basins for integrated water resources management. This book covers the essential components of integrated water resources management, including analysis of climatic variables, climate change detection, analysis of natural resources, geology, geomorphology, socio-economics, water budgeting, flood estimation, river pollution, etc. Furthermore, this boo
