This book provides comprehensive insights into the types of water resources and their uses. Water resources include all the sources of water present on earth. If we compare the proportion of fresh water with salty water, it appears to be negligible. Although freshwater is a renewable resource, the concentration of groundwater is depleting at much faster rate. Water pollution results in contamination of water resources. Pollutants may come from...

Water is essential for all life forms. Although it is available in abundance, portable water forms a small percentage of all the water resources available. Water management refers to the practice of managing, developing, distributing and planning optimum use of water resources. As population and pollution are increasing rapidly, judicial management of water is the need of the hour. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights som...

Greenhouse gases have the capability to trap heat and emit radiation within thermal infrared range. Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and water vapor are some of the primary greenhouse gases present in our atmosphere. The concentration of greenhouse gases has increased considerably since industrialization. Due to their tendency of absorption and emission of heat in the earth's atmosphere, they tend to be responsible for melting glaciers, ...
