River Basins of India explores the critical role of India's river systems in shaping its geography, environment, and economy. It emphasizes that understanding these river basins is essential for sustainable development and effective water resource management. The book uniquely blends Earth Sciences Geography, and Environmental perspectives to analyze the profound impact of rivers on Indian civilization, from ancient settlements to modern agricultural practices. One intriguing fact highlighted is how the geological and hydrological characteristics of each river basin directly influence water availability and vulnerability to climate change. The book adopts a holistic approach, examining both the physical properties of river basins and the impact of human activities such as agriculture and urbanization. By understanding the interconnectedness of ecological, social, and economic systems within each basin, the book argues for an integrated water management strategy. It progresses from fundamental concepts of river basin geography and hydrology to detailed case studies of major rivers like the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra, culminating in policy recommendations for sustainable water use and environmental conservation.
