Description

This volume presents geological, geographical, environmental, and agriculture related studies on rivers, focusing on basins of the three geomorphic divisions of India, i.e. peninsular India, Indo-Gangetic plain and extra-peninsular India.

The book compiles data on both the small and large river systems of India, the large rivers include Jhelum, Ghaghara, Narmada, Son, Krishna and Godavari; and the small scale, rain-fed and groundwater-fed rivers such as Gomti have been studied.

The chapters comprehensively provide assessments of geomorphological aspects, river sediment supply, clean water availability for human population, ground water recharge, flood management and irrigation.

The information presented in this book will appeal to students, teachers, researchers and planners engaged in river development, management and conservation.
