This book is designed to provide concepts, methodologies, and approaches for river basin studies with respect to water resources and environment. The 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. The 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, the book addresses recent issues pertaining to water quality, water quality indices, environmental flows, water resources management through cropping pattern change, etc. along with methodologies and application to the Yamuna River system. However, the main objective of this book is to address important issues of water resources management of river basins.
Audience The manuscript has been designed so that it can be used as a reference for river basin studies. The book will be useful to engineers, agricultural scientists, environmentalists, planners, managers, and administrators who are concerned with water resources."

Planning and Evaluation of Irrigation Projects: Methods and Implementation presents the considerations, options and factors necessary for effective implementation of irrigation strategies, going further to provide methods for evaluating the efficiency of systems-in-place for remedial correction as needed. As the first book to take this lifecycle approach to agricultural irrigation, it includes real-world examples not only on natural resource availability concerns, but also on financial impacts and measurements. With 21 chapters divided into two sections, this book is a valuable resource for agricultural and hydrology engineers, conservation scientists and anyone seeking to implement and maintain irrigation systems.

This book describe the modeling approach for the flood flows for gauged and ungauged catchments. This book comprise of modeling approaches of intensity duration frequency curve, unit hydrograph, geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph, rainfall excess computations, parameter estimation, hydraulic modeling, etc. Apart from this, application of Geographic Information System (GIS) in surface hydrology is described in the book. This book will provide the good understanding of using the hydrologic models for estimating the flood flows. For replication of the approches, computer programmes appended in the book will be very helpful to users. This book will be beneficial to the hydrologist, researchers, civil and agricultural engineers.

This book presents the mathematical modeling aspects of rainfall-runoff-erosion processes in the watershed, in which the watershed's hydrodynamics and erosion process were suitably considered using the kinematic wave with variable overland resistance, and upland erosion model, respectively. To account for the infiltration process in the watershed, parametric two-term Philip model was applied. Further, to generalize the application of the process-based model, this model was extended for the ungauged watersheds. This book also comprise of several monograms developed from the analysis of various watersheds of different geophysical characteristics for ready reference to the field engineers. This book will be especially helpful to the scientists, engineers, researchers working in the field of hydrology, watershed management and hydrological design.
