The book provides a comprehensive insight into watersheds and
modeling of the hydrological processes in the watersheds. It covers
the concepts of watershed hydrology and watershed management in
depth. The basic types, of soil erosion and its measurement and
estimation of runoff and soil loss from the small and large
watersheds are discussed. Recent advances in the watershed
management like the application of remote sensing and GIS and
hydrological models are a part of the book. The book serve as a
guide for professional and competitive examinations for
undergraduate students of Agriculture and Agricultural Engineering
and graduate students of Soil Science, Soil and Water Engineering,
Agricultural Physics, Hydrology and Watershed Management.
Most imperative environmental concerns are Cultural eutrophication
pertaining to industrialization and urbanization which lead to
proliferation of weeds in aquatic environs disturbing these
ecosystems. Alarming increase in CO2, CH4, CFC’s, N2O and water
vapour in the atmosphere cause enhanced greenhouse effect, among
all these CO2 is accountable for 55-60 % of total
enhanced effect. Phyto- and Nutrient sequestration via plants
helps storage of atmospheric CO2Â in the vegetation to get rid
of contaminants. Carbon and nutrient sequestration can be
braided together for sustainable development goals. The
chapters adopt the hierarchy as follows: significance of
quality environs, quantification and bio-monitoring of culprit
contaminants, the issues relevant to global warming and accelerated
eutrophication and their ecological impacts followed by various
sequestration technologies.
