The author illustrates the environmental characteristics of water systems in India in terms of physical-cultural parameters. He examines factors such as development of water for life and environment, economy including irrigation, hydroelectric development, interlinking of rivers, legal framework and flood mitigation. He also covers issues regarding the development of water systems applicable to policy formulations for national water plans of countries like India, US, Spain, Israel etc."--Provided by publisher.
