This book contains contributions of experts from various organizations, viz., DST, IISc, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, CSMCRI, ICAR, SIAES, NEERI, NIH, CPCB, NGRI, and KTH Sweden and is presented in four sections of this book. Summary recommendations in Section 4 are based on the recommendations of expert papers and deliberations of the pre-Workshop and Workshop meetings. The chapters provide an in-depth treatment of topical subjects on both water quality and quantity, namely: source and control of geogenic and anthropogenic contamination in groundwater and surface water resources, desalination technologies, climate and water balance, watershed and groundwater management and rainwater harvesting, to name a few.

Readership: The book will serve as a curriculum material for postgraduate students in environmental scienceand engineering. It would also be a useful reference for researchers, academics and practicing engineers dealing with the problems of surface and groundwater management. Besides, appealing to the general reader interested in sustainable and quality water, the book would also serve as a source document to agencies supporting research in this field.
