Bibliography. Index. Water bodies on all the four sides surround the globe yet we face water shortage in most nations. In our country too not only the per capita water availability is falling drastically even the quality of available water is also fast deteriorating. Over extraction of ground water has further led to many problems. So there is a pressing need to educate the common man about the importance of effective management of water resources. Geography of Water Resources fulfils this need. This book has been introduced in the syllabus of universities and colleges in India as well as all over the world. However much information concerning the water resources management lies scattered in various research publications which are beyond the reach of common man. The book therefore presents a comprehensive well illustrated and documented account of the issues concerning water resources management. In this various aspects of the scientific management of water resources such as their worldwide distribution and circulation through all spheres of earth water quality and its uses irrigation methods floods droughts watershed management traditional water harvesting techniques water ethics etc. have been discussed. It is hoped that the book will be of immense help not only to students researchers analysts commentators academicians and policy makers but also for those appearing in various competitive examinations. 448 pp.
