River Basin Ecohydrology in the Indian Sub-Continent: Sustainable Strategies and Sustenance provides a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on conservation strategies, water quality management in the eco-regions, catchment management practices, estuaries, preservation of in-stream habitat populations, and natural /bioengineering techniques for the sustainable management of ecological resources in the Indian sub-continent. The book provides a unique platform for readers from branches of science and technology, including engineering sciences, agricultural sciences, biogeochemical sciences, hydrogeochemistry, toxicological sciences, social sciences, environmental policy, and governance, etc. to exchange ideas and information at multiple levels on sustainable water management, degradation of marine quality and indicators of ecological degradation.The book's contributors provide impressive and comprehensive information on different management strategies for sustainable restoration of aquatic ecological systems covering vital aspects of hydrogeochemical and geoenvironmental parameters. This book aims to provide a "platform" for scientists and environmental researchers/planners to discuss the environmental degradation, spatial heterogeneity on water quality and aquatic species, methodological approaches on sustainable management of biodiversity, etc. - Presents an extensive collection of eco-hydrological changes in the river basin driven by both nature and anthropological factors - Provides state of the art modeling, data analysis methodologies for complex socio – ecological complexity applied in the Indian Sub-Continent - Includes specific cases of ecohydrology in the river basin, especially from the Indian Sub-Continent
