In India, West Bengal is a riverine state due to the towering Himalayas to the north and the Bay of Bengal to the south. In between the mountain and sea, due to the location of the Gangetic delta region and its stability with space and time, the rivers of this state are gradually dying. In addition to the stability of the delta, the river channel is being filled with sediments carried along the river course from upstream. The role of dams, barrages and reservoirs in the normal flow of rivers at different geographical locations deserves discussion which is included in the book. It is to be expected that the rivers of West Bengal can be an outstanding example of mutual interdependence of science and society, all of which are included in the book. The use of different physicochemical parameters adopted for the water quality index of different rivers described in this book will provide new directions in this regard. With discussions like water quality index, river environments, shifting of river courses, reservoirs, dams and barrages, and mutual interdependence of river and society, it is the intention that this book, River Systems of West Bengal - Water and Environments, will be useful for the research and higher studies in the river related field. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of riverine environments.Springer Water,2364-8198Human geographyWaterHydrologyEnvironmental monitoringPollutionPhysical geographyHuman GeographyWaterEnvironmental MonitoringPollutionEarth System SciencesHuman geography.Water.Hydrology.Environmental monitoring.Pollution.Physical geography.Human Geography.Water.Environmental Monitoring.Pollution.Earth System Sciences.304.2Das Gautam Kumar1058526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910835053203321River Systems of West Bengal4156695UNINA04396nam 22006374a 450 991102020380332120200520144314.09786610649143978111920211011192021169781280649141128064914397804700578720470057874(CKB)1000000000356737(EBL)274396(OCoLC)180703201(SSID)ssj0000175891(PQKBManifestationID)12011740(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000175891(PQKBWorkID)10223464(PQKB)10819463(MiAaPQ)EBC274396(Perlego)2784561(EXLCZ)99100000000035673720060601d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe ICCA handbook on corporate social responsibility /edited by Judith Hennigfeld, Manfred Pohl, Nick TolhurstChichester, England ;Hoboken, NJ J.
