Water is vital to life, maintenance of ecological balance, economic
development, and sustenance of civilization. Planning and
management of water resources and its optimal use are a matter of
urgency for most countries of the world, and even more so for India
with a huge population. Growing population and expanding economic
activities exert increasing demands on water for varied
needs--domestic, industrial, agricultural, power generation,
navigation, recreation, etc. In India, agriculture is the highest
user of water. The past three decades have witnessed numerous
advances as well as have presented intriguing challenges and
exciting opportunities in hydrology and water resources.
Compounding them has been the growing environmental consciousness.
Nowhere are these challenges more apparent than in India. As we
approach the twenty first century, it is entirely fitting to take
stock of what has been accomplished and what remains to be
accomplished, and what accomplishments are relevant, with
particular reference to Indian conditions."

The four volumes in this set cover major aspects of hydrology and
water resources, including surface water hydrology, subsurface
water hydrology, water quality hydrology, and water resources
planning management. The books reflect the water resources
technology as practised in India and the Indian subcontinent which
should be of value to water resources professionals in the West.
The books should be of interest to academicians, graduate students,
practising engineers, water engineers, as well as water policy
makers.
