This book documents the various impacts of urbanization on hydrological systems and water resources. The first half of the book is focused on urbanization and surface waters, starting with the status of hydrological systems in the urban areas, i.e. the catchment characteristics and changes in rainfall dynamics. The most pronounced hydrological problems in cities are changes in runoff due to precipitation. Recently, rain events have been less frequent but more intense, sometimes leading to flash floods. Though the substantial increase in runoff causes floods in the urbanized area, it may be attributed to the reduction of infiltration due to construction of roads. This, in turn, results in groundwater decline and depletion. The second half of the book covers the impact of urbanization on groundwater, which starts with hindered or significantly reduced recharge taking place due to altered urban surfaces. The limited groundwater resources are over-exploited by the urban population, leading to water scarcity and depletion. Groundwater gets polluted due to solid waste dumping sites or by wastewaters discharged by industries. The book will be useful for researchers, educators, municipal/city authorities, government officials, and NGOs.

This book tackles the critical issue of arsenic contamination in water resources, a significant global threat impacting both developed and developing nations. Arsenic exposure poses severe health risks, including cancer, necessitating innovative solutions that prioritize both effectiveness and environmental responsibility. This book explores the diverse sources of arsenic contamination, from naturally occurring minerals to industrial pollutants, and the severe health impacts of chronic exposure, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It also covers the latest advancements in bioremediation and nanotechnology, featuring cutting-edge sustainable arsenic removal technologies that go beyond traditional methods like coagulation and filtration.Divided into 14 chapters, the book addresses topics such as bioremediation using microorganisms and natural plant-based systems, integrated bioremediation technologies, and the application of nanotechnology for enhanced efficiency and affordability. It also outlines the development and use of low-cost adsorptive materials and sustainable adsorbents, providing a comprehensive overview of their strengths, limitations, and future prospects. With a focus on both developed and developing countries, the book examines the current state of arsenic removal methods, the challenges faced, and the innovative solutions being developed. It highlights the importance of building capacity and knowledge sharing for sustainable arsenic management.This book is an essential resource for researchers, environmental scientists, engineers, and policymakers working in the fields of environmental science, water treatment, and public health. It equips readers with a detailed and up-to-date perspective on the technologies and strategies needed to effectively mitigate arsenic pollution.

Coastal environments are unique and highly dynamic ecosystems that play a vital role in climate regulation, support biodiversity, and highly impact human activities. This book deals with a combination of specialized areas in multiple fields. It covers the coastal ecosystem of marine life and its importance for biodiversity conservation. Sincerely addressing significant coastal dynamics, including coastal erosion and sedimentation on the shorelines. Natural hazards that caused widespread damage all along the coastal habitation on a global scale. Further, it evaluates the effects of human activities on coastal development, pollution, and predation on marine ecosystems, besides adding notorious human-induced pollution, which is of great environmental concern now. Importantly, this combination of specializing within an area of multiple fields leads to a broad range of research issues. This book offers numerous components of study to create a comprehensive guide for future prospects.
