_From Catchment Management to Managing River Basins: Science,
Technology Choices, Institutions and Policy_ synthesizes key
scientific facts crucial for catchment assessment, planning and river
basin water accounting. The book presents extensive reviews of
international literature on catchment hydrology, forest hydrology and
other hydrological processes, such as groundwater-surface water
interactions. It discusses not only the science of catchment
assessment and planning, but also the catchment planning process. It
documents several of the positive international experiences with
integrated catchment management and integrated basin management,
distilling key learnings. Case studies from India and other parts of
South Asia are also included, along with new pilot studies.
Finally, the book discusses the theoretical and operational aspects of
integrated catchment management and integrated water management in
river basins using international best practices and case studies.
* Discusses the theoretical nuances of scale effects in hydrology
and land-use hydrology interactions
* Focuses on managing water in a situation in which water has become
scarce
* Provides a theoretical discussion on water accounting procedures
that is followed by an application of the methodology and tools in
real-life case studies in two river basins of India
* Presents applications of the concept of integrated water resources
management for developing a WRM plan for an Indian river basin
