Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book is the outcome of our long teaching, research, and mapping experiences in the National Atlas & Thematic Mapping Organisation (NATMO), Survey of India, Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Viswa Bharati, Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith and other universities. Over the years, different aspects of the Geography of India were dealt in a variety of ways and for different purposes. We have been benefitted by our involvement in bringing out the 2nd edition of the National Atlas of India and other publications of NATMO. Of course, the contributions of Professor S.P. Chatterjee were the guiding force for us. We have published other books on India as well. However, there has been a requirement to make a fresh attempt on the subject as the Indian scenario is changing very fast. This book on An Advanced Geography of India is likely to fill up this gap. Here an attempt has been made to cover the syllabus of under-graduate and post-graduate courses of most of the Indian universities. Latest data and information were collected for this purpose. The language has been kept as simple as possible considering the requirements of the Indian students. Further, persons who are preparing for different central and state government services may find the book useful. This book covers the physical, human, economic and environment related issues. There are 27 chapters covering different features of the Indian Geography. Further, there are chapters covering emerging issues such as regionalization, environment, disasters, Indian Ocean, borders, and emerging economic interests. Nevertheless, the historical, cultural, and population-related aspects have been given due consideration. The writeup is supported by tables, maps, and diagrams. Furthermore, this book may indicate the possibilities for exploring advanced research on different facets of the Geography of India as well.

From the preface The science dealing with the waters of the earth their distribution on the surface and underground and the cycle involving evaporation precipitation is known as hydrology. The importance of this discipline was understood much earlier in our ancient civilization. The location of cities and important settlements along the rivers and near water bodies is the testimony of it. The lay out of settlements and building plans are with reference of the availability of their resources that may not be as scarce as we find it today. The association of history and civilization established the importance of rivers and other water bodies as the prime resource necessary for all forms of life on earth. According to the Markandya Purana all rivers are sacred all flow towards sea. All are like mothers all purge away sins. Indians consider their waters as sacred. It has been stated in ancient scriptures that the water of river Yamuna purify a man after a bath of seven days those of Saraswati after a bath of three days those of Ganges immediately on taking the bath and those of Narmada on their mere sight. Regarding Tapi it has been stated that mere remembering her purifies a man. The Hydrological Atlas of India is an attempt of the NATMO to transfer the knowledge so far collected by different concerned departments to the users and researchers through a set of thematic maps showing hydrological setup of the country along with all the interrelated elements of geology physiography climate soil natural vegetation and land use. It provides an overview of the water potential of both the surface and ground water and their quantity quality and availability. The map content provides logical links between physical and social environments. Each of the maps shows different aspects of water for a better understanding of natural environment its interaction with the social and economic activities. Water thus viewed is a highly valuable and mobile resource. The users of this Atlas are likely to be exposed to one of the great system of the nature the hydrologic system of our country and its impacts on environment and human civilization. This Atlas should be useful to the governments institutions and individuals who are working on water related issues. Further it may provide some background information for possible interlinking of rivers in the country.
