It has become imperative on the part of water scientists and planners to adopt techniques for quantifying the available groundwater resources for sustainable development and management keeping in mind the scarcity of available water resources versus its demand in the near future. The apparent heterogeneities and complexities present in the hard rock aquifers makes it a challenging research to tackle groundwater problems. The intricacy increases manifold for the management of groundwater when the hard rock aquifers are situated in arid or semi arid regions. The demand/supply gap has led to the over abstraction of the groundwater and water level depletion in many areas beyond economic exploitation. The Indo French Center for Groundwater Research (IFCGR) at Hyderabad India has taken this challenge and using a suitable pilot site with all the requisites for studying hard rock aquifers present has surveyed and experimented extensively a typical granitic aquifer present in a semi arid and monsoon climate agricultural area. The present book contains the results and findings of the advanced research carried out in the pilot area with a thorough investigation of the structure and functioning of the aquifer in such a formation. The various chapters arranged in the book start from a very general scenario of the water resources management in the country an extremely technical contribution on the hard rock aquifer system its characterization theoretical portion of its properties and behaviour that has been necessary to enter into the environment.

Water use strategy. 6. Water demand management. Subject index. Human settlements in the semi arid region often suffer from the change in monsoon rainfall. Presence of degraded surface rainwater storage systems in these areas and meticulous design practices indicate the integrated approach followed by the civilization in conservation. The present civilization adopted the technological advances in their living style. Hence large quantities of water are transported over long distances in meeting their demands. This has led to physical chemical and biological contamination making it mandatory to ascertain its quality prior to consumption and utilization. The incurred loss during the transportation distribution storage at user's place and utilization lead to identification of new sources for supply. Assessment of present day utility and leakages and alternative ways of effective management of water resources is essential prior to economic commitment. The water availability stress and demand scenario is introduced prior to dealing with individual methods. The various options that are available on the surface run off harvesting domestic roof water harvesting quality assessment and remediation water use strategy and water demand management that could be used in semi arid region is presented in a comprehensive way. The people dealing with utilizing of water towards their academic and research pursuit planners socio economist and non government agencies could benefit from this book. 352 pp.…

Modelling deals with transformation of science into computational framework for assessment of resource potential and prediction of future scenario while management is the use of the tools for making decisions. Groundwater experts in India acquired substantial knowledge on modelling and management of complex groundwater systems. The idea therefore emerged why not endeavour to share their experiences in a book. This book consists of twenty five independent chapters along with glossary of 223 groundwater and modelling terminologies and tables giving values of frequently used parameters and characteristics a rare match if compared with other books. The chapters have been designed to cover various aspects of groundwater which include issues physical processes parameter estimation modelling concept and approach pollution assessment and transport modelling freshwater and salt water interface modelling case studies etc. The contribution of articles is arranged into five section. One of the main emphases of the book is the hard rocks hydrogeology and modelling a challenging area for future research. It is anticipated that this book will be one of its kind to provide all scientific and technical details about groundwater and its movement in aquifer medium. The book is more like a reference book and will be useful for students teachers researchers and practising hydrologists. 596 pp. …

Although the role of plant kingdom in determining earth's climate is generally acknowledged our understanding of plant physiology is very rudimentary. The author has attempted to present a comprehensive and unified approach to plant physiology with emphasis on the energetics of transport processes. The present approach is in line with P. Mitchell's theory of proton motive force as the source of energy for symport and antiport processes in all cell membranes. Beginning with the energy transduction processes in the chloroplasts and mitochondria we realize that a symbiotic relationship exists between the photosynthesizing leaves and the respiring heterotrophic tissues of the rest of the plant. The former are engaged in reduction reactions which consume protons while the roots and other sinks are engaged in oxidation reactions which produce H. The present approach is an extension of Mitchell's theory of symport and antiport processes across cell membranes by applying the theory of electrokinetic phenomena and the principles of irreversible thermodynamics to the transport pathways of plants. We have been able to thereby formulate a comprehensive theory of plant transport regulated by the diverse metabolic activities of plant tissues. We not only resolve the problem of pH stating in the two sets of tissues but also obtain the metabolic source of energy for transport in plants. We see that plant transport is not driven by inanimate agencies like transpiration and osmotic pressure alone but is rather governed by plant's own metabolism. This view point has been often suggested but the currently accepted models are only limited variations of the 1895 and 1930 models of Jolly Dickson and Munch respectively. As living organisms plants have to be in a position to acquire nutrients of the kind and at the rate at which these are required and hence both sinks and sources must regulate transport by their own activity in harmony with their metabolism at any time of the day and season. It has been probably the lack of recognition of the wide and diverse faculties of plants by earlier physiologists who assigned plants an inferior status of living state compared to species of animal kingdom. 162 pp.…
