Proceedings of the International Conference on Hydrology and Water Resources, New Delhi, India, December 1993 Surface-Water Hydrology

Water is vital to life, maintenance of ecological balance, economic development, and sustenance of civilization. Planning and management of water resources and its optimal use are a matter of urgency for most countries of the world, and even more so for India with a huge population. Growing populati...
