Water resource and drought management. 8. Sustainable water resource planning, management and strategies for drought proofing. Bibliography. The book presents best management practices that maximize efficiency, reliability, and economy which minimizing the potential for adverse effects to the environment and human health. The chapters discuss how conjunctive water use can increase water availability in the developing world and what types of conjunctive use schemes are the most promising. The book examines the feasibility of a drought watch alert system and the legal and administrative framework required. It also explores the application of the Optimization Models and the Decision Support Systems to the study of different water management alternatives under drought conditions. Drought Proofing and Water Resources Management delineates how to reduce drought effects through pro-active vision, good management, and conjunctive use of water sources. Drought is a recurring feature in arid and semi arid regions of India. Every effort is made to combat it since Independence. Still drought stays here as unwanted guest. Thousands of million Rupees are spent on drought and Flood control. This is now high time to rethink and review our policies and planning. There is need for permanent drought proofing in the state rather than short-term measures during incidence of drought disaster only. Efforts have been made in this book to critical review the scenario for drought proofing of the state through Water Resource Management.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Space technologies can play important roles in the reduction of disasters. The use of such technologies can be particularly useful in the risk assessment, mitigation and preparedness phases of disaster management. Space technologies are also vital to the early warning and management of the effects of the disaster. It plays a great role in disaster management in such areas as flooding, cyclones, drought, desertification, earthquake and tsunami. Space technology is largely adopted due to its cost effectiveness, short temporal orbiting and large area of coverage. Space technologies have been used in disaster management especially during the preparedness/warning and response/monitoring stages. One of the main advantages of the use of the powerful combination techniques of a GIS, is the evaluation of several hazard and risk scenarios that can be used in the decision - making about the future development of an area, and the optimum way to protect it from natural disasters.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 'Desertification'' means land degradation in arid, semiarid, and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities. Combat Desertification advocates for the importance of inclusive cooperation to restore and rehabilitate degraded land and contribute towards achieving the overall Sustainable Development Goals. Land has been an overlooked component in sustainable development for years. Now, we view land as a vital link to provide solutions to cope with many other development challenges such as climate change, secure water and energy resources, promoting inclusive growth, and so on. It is widely accepted that satellite remote sensing and Geo-informatics system offers considerable advantages for land degradation and desertification assessments. With a comprehensive spatial coverage it is intrinsically synoptic, and provides objective, repetitive data which contribute to resource assessments and monitoring concepts of the process of desertification. However, if these observations can be coupled with GIS-based ecological modeling concepts, they may develop their full capacity to be used for modifying and adapting mitigation strategies.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) offers an abundant opportunity to monitor and manage natural resources at multi-temporal, multi-spectral and multi-spatial resolution. This system is based on new tools and sources of information provided by modern technologies. These include Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) are such technologies that are much more reliable, precise and efficient as well than any other resource assessment technology. These technologies give a visual impression of the landscape that helps to make quick decision in resource management. Satellite remote sensing, in conjunction with geographic information systems (GIS), has been widely applied and been recognized as a powerful and effective tool in detecting land use and land cover change. It provides cost-effective multi-spectral and multi-temporal data, and turns them into information valuable for understanding and monitoring land development patterns.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The present book is most gigantic in view of widespread area of the country with most adverse condition due to recurrence of drought. Severity of drought is converted in to famine when it is combination of agricultural drought, hydrological and meteorological drought. There becomes acute shortage of food grain, fodder and drinking water in the affected regions. Droughts affect the agriculture production to severe extent, create problem of food grain, fodder and water to the critical level of survival. Socio-economic conditions of the people is dwindled as agriculture is their source of livelihood and all expectations of the people depend on the ensuing crop. Drought proofing activities initiated for scaling down the impact of droughts could not yield desired results in view of faulty process of implementation in isolation without associating the people in decision making process. The problems cropping up as impact of drought are increasing continuously. For minimizing the impact of drought, it is necessary to focus the activities on rain water harvesting, plantation activities in 33 percent of area comprising of degraded forests, waste land, barren land and permanent pastures is necessary to treat for existing deficiencies. The occurrence of drought due to rainfall failure would continue but its impact and magnitude would be decreased significantly as people of the affected regions would have sustainable livelihood support from plantation. The socio-economic conditions of the people of the area would change to significant extent.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Environment state. 3. Indicators of desertification. 4. Degree and extent of desertification. 5. Process and causes of desertification. 6. Biotechnology for combating desertification. 7. Biotechnology and mitigation measure for desertification. 8. Mitigation technologies and approaches. 9. Studies of agro-ecological regions. 10. Strategy and planning for combating desertification and land degradation. Bibliography. Desertification is a human and social problem which is not susceptible to quick solutions, but is already urgent in arid, semi-arid and sub-humid dryland regions, Desertification commonly appears as degradation of plant, animal, soil and water resources and general loss of biological productivity in areas under ecological stress. In fragile ecosystems, degradation can easily become irreversible and permanently reduce the capacity of the areas affected to support human life. Bio-technology has most important role in effective mitigation of desertification and all degraded lands are possible to be treated through these devices. Application of bio-technology in the field of agriculture relates mainly to improvement in production and productivity. Food and nutrition situation depend on land, water and energy resources which are generally limited. The biotechnology addresses research aimed at increasing production, higher nutritional value, greater plant resistance to adverse weather conditions, pathogenic agents and pests. The contribution of plant genetics in recent discoveries in molecular biology and exploitation of certain characters peculiar to plants.…
