We report here an attempt to develop a Database Management System (DBMS) of bio-geo-hydrometeorological parameters needs of the stakeholders
of local level planning for a representative watershed (viz. the Khulgad in Almora district) of Kumaun, Lesser Himalayan terrain in the Uttarakhand. The Khulgad DBMS is constituted of five Geographic Information System (GIS) modules.

An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration influences climate both directly through its radiative effect (i.e., trapping longwave radiation) and indirectly through its physiological effect (i.e., reducing transpiration of land plants).

Yunnan's worst drought for many years has been exacerbated by destruction of forest cover and a history of poor water management.

A study on variation in silica values in groundwater from a small part of the Central Ganga Plain has yielded valuable information on relative roles of geogenic and anthropogenic solute acquisition processes and depth to the deep aquifer system in the area. It is recommended that silica analysis should be a mandatory component of all systematic hydrogeochemical studies.

To achieve sustainable development and to ensure water availability in hydrological basins, water managers need tools to determine the actual evapotranspiration (ET) on a large scale.
