All life on earth depends on water. Man uses water for many purposes drinking, irrigation, fisheries, industrial processes, transportation, \'and waste disposal. The origin of water on the earth is not clear so far. However, the current presumption is that the primordial earth had no oceans, and perhaps very little atmosphere. It is believed that the volatile constituents bound in the earth\'s crust, oozing to the surface through volcanoes, rock movements, and hot springs, condensed to form the ocean and the atmosphere. This way, perhaps this remarkable combination of hydrogen and oxygen - called water - came into being and eventually became an indispensable component of the earth\'s environment.
Water found on the surface of the earth in lakes, rivers and oceans is called surface water. It is polluted by various means like biological, physical, chemical, aesthetic and radioactive substances. Therefore it is essential to manage water resources from pollution.
The present book is an attempt to provide overall information of water, environment and pollution through chapters like Water: Introduction , Water: Structure, Properties and Quality, Water Habitat Ecology, Drinking Water, Water: Rivers of India, Brackish water Resources of India, Soil Water Relationships, Quality of Irrigation Water, Water Management and Irrigation, Water and Aquaculture, Water: Setting and Management of Aquarium. Sewage Fed Fish Culture, Water: Drought and Flood, Water Conservation, Water Conservation: Dams, Watershed Management, Biological and Chemical Oxygen
Demand (BOD and COD), Water Pollution, Eutrophication, Fluoride in Water, Freshwater Blooms, Treatment of Polluted Water, Water Borne Diseases, Water: Collection of Samples, Water Analysis: Physical, Water Analysis: Chemical, and Water Analysis: Biological.
