Water Scarcity, Contamination, and Management presents new and updated material, including case studies, step-by-step guidance on key procedures and protocols, and timely topics such as climate change and integrated water resource management. This book is divided into three key sections. Section 1-Water Resource Scarcity-focuses on sustainable development and management of water resources and techniques and methods for improving water use efficiency. Section 2-Contamination of Water Resources-focuses on understanding the quality of water resources, migration of pollutant sources, geochemical processes, groundwater depletion, and seasonal variations in contaminant concentration, water resources' quality status, and associated human health risks. Section 3-Water Resource Management-considers a consolidated and coordinated approach to find the solution to water resource issues.

Presenting a comprehensive overview of the water management field, the book serves as a valuable reference for students, professors, scholars, researchers, and consultants in the fields of water resources, civil engineering, environmental science and engineering, and hydrology.

Provides an overview of the current status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, and the advantages and disadvantages of systems techniques Includes numerous examples and real-world case studies Presents the roles of remote sensing and GIS in solving the water resource crisis

This book provides a scientific framework for understanding and applying IEM principles, emphasizing the need to integrate ecological integrity with economic viability, social equity, and institutional capacity. IEM is grounded in systems thinking, which views the environment as a network of interconnected natural and human systems. The book explores how environmental components—such as air, water, soil, and biodiversity—interact with human activities including agriculture, urbanization, and industrialization. By examining these linkages, IEM allows for a deeper understanding of cumulative impacts and the identification of sustainable solutions that balance competing interests.

In the journey toward building a sustainable and developed India (Viksit Bharat), information technology (IT) has emerged as a transformative force across sectors.
