This study documents the deteriorating riverine environment of Sindh. Previous studies have also highlighted this issue but the referencing and documentation is generally fragmentary.

Vikram Soni et al. explain a scheme for large-scale natural water storage in the Yamuna floodplains near Delhi. If the water is made to percolate in the aquifer by construction of several
barrages and tens of kilometres of bunds, then it cannot be called a

India has good average annual precipitation, but its poor distribution in space and time has led to the scarcity of groundwater in many areas. Artificial recharge to groundwater requires a composite procedure along with detailed morphometric and hydrogeological studies of the area. In Maharashtra State, a

The worldwide paradigm shift in river basin management has not affected policymakers in south Asia. Hydro-diplomacy in the Ganges-Brahmaputra- Meghna basin is still based on reductionist engineering, and looks at marginal economic benefits, without showing any concern for the long-run implications for livelihoods and ecosystem.

Despite mounting evide-nce of China undertaking construction of dams, purportedly to divert the Brahmaputra river, India today reiterated its stand that Beijing is

This report focuses on water and water-related issues and investments, with a particular focus on reducing the vulnerability of water sector investments to the impacts of climate change. It provides a first version of a tool that can be used to assess exposure and screen the investment portfolio on a regional basis.

The methodology for ground water resources estimation is based on relatively sound scientific basis. It also meets adequately well the practical requirements for formulating rational ground water development strategies.

Over-exploitation of ground water resource (stage of ground water development - more than 100%) refers to the development of ground water resource which is available below the active recharge zone or zone of fluctuation that is sometimes referred as Static or In

The controversial issue of China

The knowledge of hydrological variables (e.g. soil moisture, evapotranspiration) are of pronounced importance in various applications including flood control, agricultural production and effective water resources management. These applications require the accurate prediction of hydrological variables spatially and temporally in watershed/basin. Though hydrological
