Dirty, Sacred Rivers
Dirty, Sacred Rivers explores South Asia's increasingly urgent water crisis, taking readers on a journey through North India, Nepal and Bangladesh, from the Himalaya to the Bay of Bengal. The book shows how rivers, traditionally revered by the people of the Indian subcontinent, have in recent decades deteriorated dramatically due to economic progress and gross mismanagement. Dams and ill-advised embankments strangle the Ganges and its sacred tributaries. Rivers have become sewage channels for a burgeoning population. To tell the story of this enormous river basin, environmental journalist Cheryl Colopy treks to high mountain glaciers with hydrologists; bumps around the rough embankments of I...
Innovations in Sustainable Mining
This book explores sustainable mining knowledge, assessing researchers on the impacts of waste and new approaches to negotiating these impacts. Mining has always been a profitable venture; however, it comes with several boons and banes. The significant advantages of mining include employment generation, the establishment of townships and trade centers, and socio-economic growth. However, the mining activity is a significant cause of environmental degradation, including soils, atmosphere, water, solid wastes, changed topography, and health hazards. This book emphasizes value-added products from mining wastes and innovations for balancing environment, ecology, and economy. This book is designed for miners, policymakers, professionals, researchers, scientists, industrialists, and environmental agencies.

EVALUATION OF TERRAIN AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RESERVOIR USING GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY
Environmental protection and conservation measures have been increasing for sustainable development. The strategies for environmental goals and economical development must be compatible. Sustainable development can be achieved through the incorporation of environmental dimensions into the process of developmental activity. The improper planning and inappropriate management of the environment leads to deterioration of environmental quality, particularly water and soil quality that are being seriously affected. According to (David B. Brooks, 2002) proper mitigation measures are not taken. By the year 2025, one third of world’s population will experience sever potable water scarcity. Wise environmental management requires ability to measure, forecast, monitor, and analyze environmental trends and thereby assess the capabilities of water and land at different levels. Dougherty (1995) studied about the requirement of the adoption for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for integrated planning of land and water resources in order to avoid irreversible damage to the environment.
