Hardcover. Condition: As New. Contents Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Basis for applications of various isotopes in hydrology. 3. Isotope applications in surface water hydrology. 4. Isotope applications in groundwater hydrology. 5. Need for enhanced application of isotope hydrology and how to achieve it. Index. The book highlights with practical examples the potential of isotope techniques in water resources development and management. It starts with a description of isotope characteristics as well as their relevance as tracers in studies on various stages of the hydrological cycle. The book covers applications of both environmental isotopes and injected tracers to surface water and groundwater bodies as well as their interrelationships. In view of the importance of identification of groundwater recharge and recharge processes due emphasis is given to this aspect of application of environmental isotopes. Role of isotopes in understanding groundwater contamination from natural pollutants like inland salinity arsenic and nitrate is discussed with examples. Key features Detailed information about environmental isotopes such as the isotopes of the water molecule (2H 3H 18O) and those of dissolved salts (13C 14C 34S) as well as injected radioisotopes like 82Br 131I 60Co. Applications of environmental isotopes in surface water hydrology including stream flow component separation (base flow run off snowmelt) hydrodynamics of lakes (mixing retention sub surface inflow and outflow) lake sedimentation percolation tank efficacy and seepages in reservoirs canals and tunnels. Case studies on recharge processes like in arid Western Rajasthan including one on a buried channel suspected to be of ancient River Sarasvati on seawater intrusion and on pollution from natural arsenic in West Bengal. The book is useful to scientists researchers students and teachers in the field of hydrology. 202 pp.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Vegetation. 3. Resume of floristic works on Andhra Pradesh with reference to Guntur. 4. Employed methods in the study. 5. Plan of the flora. 6. Analysis of the flora. 7. Concluding remarks on the flora of Guntur. 8. A note on wayside/roadside trees of Guntur. 9. Artificial key to families. 10. Systematic enumeration. 11. Literature cited. 12. Glossary of botanical terms. Index. The flora of Guntur City is the brain child of Professor P.R. Mohana Rao, Whose association with the Professor Olov Hedberg at Uppsala University inspired him to take up flora work which eventually culminated into a most valuable treatise. Uhl (1930) did a maiden attempt on Flora of Guntur when he was working in Luthern Mission College, Guntur in the early part of last century, but the neither followed any system of classification nor he provided keys for genera and species since then there has been a phenomenal change in landscape of Guntur city. Judging from senior author's wide experience, a modern flora is much needed containing identification keys and descriptions of plants available in Guntur and its surroundings. Both wild as well as introduced plants growing in cultivated fields, roadsides, railway tracks parks, public gardens, private gardens, colleges, schools, guest houses, tobacco companies, ponds and puddles were collected, recorded and about 411 species representing 78 families are described in the book. A short summary of diagnostic features and description is given under each family followed by a key to genera and followed by description of each species, with its local distribution, time of flowering and fruiting, local names, local uses, pollination etc. The families are arranged according to the Bentham and Hooker's System of Classification of flowering plants (1862-1883). The authors strongly believe that the Flora of Guntur City, Andhra Pradesh, India is very significant, catering the needs of researchers, undergraduate and post-graduate students, taxonomists teachers and general public equally. The authors opine that a flora of this type should be written for small and big towns and cities in order to make the general public aware of the plants which grow in and around where they live. Further more this should spread the message that the plants are part and parcel of every day life and they need protection in order to maintain green mantle for pollution free healthy living. It should be mentioned that the young brains of the school going children come to know the names and importance of plants of their vicinity from a very early age, and understand the importance of conservation of nature for the present and posterity.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Natural resources and agricultural productivity. 3. Natural resources management : Key issues and concerns. 4. Resource management technologies for sustaining productivity. 5. Integrated farming systems approach for sustaining agricultural productivity. 6. Conclusions. References. Annexure. Subject Index. Natural resources like land, water and biodiversity are the key to sustain agricultural productivity. Growing pressure of intensive agriculture and other non-farm enterprises on natural resources like soil and water is leading to their degradation, threatening the food security and ecosystem stability. A comprehensive understanding of the natural resources endowment of the country and its scientific management is a key to sustain agriculture and livestock productivity. This volume gives a comprehensive coverage of the status of natural resources and its efficient management its role in food production and meeting other needs like fodder, fuel wood, fibre, etc. The book has been prepared as a treatise with extensive illustrations and basic data with a national perspective. The unique features of the volume are the comprehensive coverage of the latest information from leading ICAR research Institutes and State Agricultural Universities of the country. The strategies for efficient management of soil fertility, conservation of soil and water, coping with climate on-farm water management in irrigated and rainfed production systems are covered in detail. The last chapter on integrated farming systems links the scientific utilization of natural resources to total farm productivity. The authors of the book are from leading institutes of the ICAR and are well known researchers in their field. It is hoped that this book will be useful to researchers, teachers, students, NGOs and all other readers interested to learn about natural resources management and its role in sustainable agriculture.…
