INSIGHT TO THE HYDROLOGY OF RESERVOIRS FROM GADHINGLAJ TAHSIL


Book Description

Water is a basic and primary need of all vital processes and it is now well established that the life first arose in aquatic environment. Ever since the pre-historic times man has been intimately associated with water and it has been continuously proved by the evidences of past civilization that all historic human settlements were around inland fresh water resources. The Republic of India rightly perceived the conclusions drawn by the International Environmental Conference (1973) and focused the attention of entire scientific community on the non-availability of good quality of water in sufficient quantities and the problems of the management. The fast depleting of water resources are adversely affecting the terrestrial life and pushing posterity towards disaster.




Techno-Societal 2020


Book Description

This book, divided in two volumes, originates from Techno-Societal 2020: the 3rd International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Societal Applications, Maharashtra, India, that brings together faculty members of various engineering colleges to solve Indian regional relevant problems under the guidance of eminent researchers from various reputed organizations. The focus of this volume is on technologies that help develop and improve society, in particular on issues such as advanced and sustainable technologies for manufacturing processes, environment, livelihood, rural employment, agriculture, energy, transport, sanitation, water, education. This conference aims to help innovators to share their best practices or products developed to solve specific local problems which in turn may help the other researchers to take inspiration to solve problems in their region. On the other hand, technologies proposed by expert researchers may find applications in different regions. This offers a multidisciplinary platform for researchers from a broad range of disciplines of Science, Engineering and Technology for reporting innovations at different levels.




Environmental Chemistry


Book Description

Discusses natural resources, ecosystems, biodiversity, pollution and the basic chemistry of the environment including green technology, biodegradable polymers and chemical toxicology.




Development Trajectories of River Basins


Book Description

The development of societies is shaped to a large extent by their resources base, notably water resources. Access to and control of water depend primarily on the available technology and engineering feats, such as river-diversion structures, canals, dams and dikes. As growing human pressure on water resources brings actual water use closer to potential ceilings, supply-augmentation options get scarcer, and societies, therefore, usually respond by adopting conservation measures and by reallocating water towards more beneficial uses.




Ecology, Colonialism, and Cattle


Book Description

This volume documents the impact that colonial commercialization had on the environment in a cattle rich region of central India called Berar when the traditional interdependency of agriculture, grazing lands and forest was broken under British colonial onslaught.




Rainwater Harvesting


Book Description

This book emphasizes the importance of social, economic, and environmental considerations when planning and implementing projects. For rural development workers, it aims to fill the gap in existing literature on the gathering and storage of rainwater.













Techno-Societal 2016


Book Description

This volume originates from the proceedings of a multidisciplinary conference, Techno-Societal 2016 in Maharashtra, India, that brings together faculty members of various engineering colleges to solve Indian regional relevant problems under the guidance of eminent researchers from various reputed organizations. The focus is on technologies that help develop and improve society, in particular on issues such as the betterment of differently abled people, environment impact, livelihood, rural employment, agriculture, healthcare, energy, transport, sanitation, water, education. This conference aims to help innovators to share their best practices or products developed to solve specific local problems which in turn may help the other researchers to take inspiration to solve problems in their region. On the other hand, technologies proposed by expert researchers may find applications in different regions. This back and forth process for local-global interaction will help in solving local problems by global approach and help in solving global problems by improving local conditions.
