Technology-Based Solutions for Sustainable Groundwater Management: Challenges, Models, and Strategies provides an in-depth exploration of the environmental and technological challenges impacting global groundwater resources. It examines the complexities of water scarcity driven by climate change, agricultural expansion, and increasing human demand. Through detailed case studies and analyses, the book illustrates the pivotal role of cutting-edge spatial technologies in mapping, monitoring, and managing groundwater. The book integrates diverse scientific disciplines, including geography, hydrology, and environmental science to offer readers a multidimensional understanding of groundwater dynamics.It showcases a range of innovative tools, from remote sensing and GIS to artificial intelligence and machine learning, highlighting their application in developing predictive models and real-time management strategies. Framed within the context of sustainable practices, these solutions aim to secure groundwater for future generations while supporting current economic and social needs. It is an indispensable resource for environmental scientists, students, and researchers, providing foundational knowledge and a guide to applying the latest technological advancements in the field.Provides information on the latest technologies and modeling used for measuring sustainability of groundwater resourcesOffers knowledge on diversified topics including groundwater potentiality, stress zonation, trends of groundwater level, declining quality, and risk zonationIncludes unique case studies to illustrate the mitigation of groundwater-crisis, groundwater-supply, groundwater quality, and the overexploitation of groundwater resources

This proposed book aims to present an analysis of several crisis issues induced by global climate changes and implications at the micro-level, particularly from the perspective of ground-based study.

This proposed book aims to present an analysis of several crisis issues induced by global climate changes and implications at the micro-level, particularly from the perspective of ground-based study. Climate crisis leads to several socio-ecological issues which need to discuss with some empirical case studies from the contextual global evidences. Climatic crisis generates several social responses which are associated with mitigating issues in addition to sustainable development goals. Under these circumstances, several loopholes interlinked with climatic crisis need to expose in the present-day context. This book argues that it is important to understand the issues from multiple dimensions. It identifies some important dimensions to discuss in the process. Themes we purpose to cover are: several field-based studies are included for which micro-level field-based data would incorporate to understand current crisis induced by climate change, thus exposing the vulnerabilities of the communities which would be incorporated in different chapters with adequate representation of qualitative methods, modelling-based geospatial approach. Therefore, some secondary data-based studies have also been included to provide a broader picture. Additionally, this book aims to provide an interdisciplinary understanding of the issues mainly from the lenses of Geography, Economics, and Sociology as well as Environmental Studies too. Given the focus of this study, it is believed that an approach that harmonizes the cognitive domain from different discipline is appropriated. A combination of chapters using qualitative as well as quantitative methods also made this book exclusive from others. We believe that this edited book surely contributes the knowledge domain with some relevant chapters’ discussion in the contemporary time and leads to reduce the gap of knowledge.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic relationship between environmental factors and public health, providing both theoretical insights and practical solutions. As environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and natural disasters increasingly threaten global public health, this book integrates foundational theories with empirical evidence to address these pressing issues. It covers a wide range of topics including the theoretical and methodological foundations for understanding the nexus between environment and public health, exploring historical perspectives and research directions. The book examines the health impacts of environmental hazards and disasters, focusing on vulnerable regions and populations with highlighting climate change associated public health challenges. Furthermore, the book shifts to the environmental pollution and public health challenges, offering sustainable solutions to mitigate environmental pollutions. The book also delves into the intersection of climate extremes, food security, and nutrition, focusing on how vulnerable countries can build resilient food systems to combat food insecurity and malnutrition. It emphasizes the role of cutting-edge technologies like geospatial tools, artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML) and advanced environment and public health data cloud to make sustainable solutions. By integrating diverse regional perspectives, the book presents actionable strategies for building resilient, sustainable environment and public health. Designed for researchers, policymakers, and environmental health practitioners, this book serves as an essential guide for understanding the profound global environmental challenges and public health burdens, learning the advance tools and techniques to delineate such issues and resilient strategies

The book offers a comprehensive view to understanding the complex and multifaceted world of women's health in South Asia, aligning closely with Sustainable Development Goals-3 (SDGs-3) on “good health and well-being”. It examines the critical aspects, such as maternal and newborn health, healthcare choice and utilization. It includes perspectives on environmental, socio-cultural, and individual-level behavioral aspects of women's health outcomes. Furthermore, it highlights present-day women’s health issues with the light of COVID-19 pandemics, refugeehood and mind-psychiatric epidemics. It contextualizes the women’s health rights and development landscape with evaluating existing policies, programs, and potential gaps affecting women's health and well-being. Employing advanced geospatial techniques, including spatial modelling and quantitative approaches, the book offers multidimensional insights into women's health, shaping dialogue around health programs and policies. It is a rich source for academics, researchers, graduate students and health professionals in the fields of women’s health development.
