Water Management and Water Governance, 1st ed. 2021 Hydrological Modeling Water Science and Technology Library Series, Vol. 96

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Pandey Ashish, Mishra S.K., Kansal M.L., Singh R.D., Singh V.P.

Couverture de l’ouvrage Water Management and Water Governance
This book focusses on hydrological modeling, water management, and water governance. It covers the applications of remote sensing and GIS tools and techniques for land use and land cover classifications, estimation of precipitation, evaluation of morphological changes, and monitoring of soil moisture variability. Moreover, remote sensing and GIS techniques have been applied for crop mapping to assess cropping patterns, computation of reference crop evapotranspiration, and crop coefficient. Hydrological modeling studies have been carried out to address various issues in the water sector. MODFLOW model was successfully applied for groundwater modeling and groundwater recharge estimation. Runoff modeling has been carried out to simulate the snowmelt runoff together with the rainfall and sub-surface flow contributions for snow-fed basins. A study has been included, which predicts the impact of the land use and land cover on stream flow. Various problems in the water sector have been addressed employing hydrological models such as SWAT, ArcSWAT, and VIC. An experimental study has been presented wherein the laboratory performance of rainfall simulator has been evaluated. Hydrological modeling studies involving modifications in the curve number methodology for simulation of floods and sediment load have also been presented.

 

This book is useful for academicians, water practitioners, scientists, water managers, environmentalists, and administrators, NGOs, researchers, and students who are involved in water management with the focus on hydrological modeling, water management, and water governance.

He guided 10 Ph.D. and 78 M.Tech. students at IIT Roorkee. He published 155 research papers in peer reviewed and high impact international/national journals/seminars/conferences/ symposia. He has also co-authored a textbook on “Introductory Soil and Water Conservation Engineering”.

Prof. Pandey also served as Guest Editor for two issues of J.  Hydrologic Engineering (ASCE). He is Editor, Indian J. Soil Conservation.  His laurels include Eminent Engineers Award-2015 given by the Institute of Engineers (India), Uttarakhand State Centre, DAAD scholarship and ASPEE scholarship. He was offered prestigious, JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Foreign Researchers, Japan and BOYSCAST fellowship of DST, GOI. He is a Fellow member of (1). Institution of Engineers (India); (2). Indian Association of Hydrologists (IAH) and (3). Indian Water Resources Society (IWRS).

Dr. S.K. Mishra is a 1984 Civil Engineering graduate of the then Moti Lal Nehru Regional Engineering College (presently MNNIT), Allahabad. He obtained his M.Tech degree in Hydraulics and Water Resources from IIT Kanpur in 1986; and doctoral degree from the then University of Roorkee (presently IIT Roorkee) in 1999. He served the National Institute of Hydrology Roorkee at various scientific positions during 1987 - 2004. During the period, he also visited Louisiana State University, USA, as a post doctoral fellow during 2000-01 and Dept. of Civil Engineeri
