It delves into the basin's hydro-development scenario, biodiversity, water quality, and sand mining, elucidating the pivotal role of the river in economic, social, and environmental viability of the eastern region of India. This volume emphasizes the environmental consequences stemming from unsustainable human activities such as river regulation, burgeoning settlements, sand mining, overfishing, and more. The Mahanadi River basin has been less explored for its biodiversity and environmental aspects compared to other prominent river basins like Ganga, Indus, Western Ghats, Godavari, and Krishna. This book seeks to fill this gap, offering new insights into the Mahanadi basin. The chapters address all dimensions of the environment, including social, ecological, engineering, and economic aspects, making it a multidisciplinary work. The book is tailored for audiences with backgrounds in social studies, engineering, biodiversity, and ecology. 606 $aEcology 606 $aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEnvironmental protection 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aFreshwater ecology 606 $aMarine ecology 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Studies 606 $aSoil and Water Protection 606 $aConservation Biology 606 $aFreshwater and Marine Ecology 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aFreshwater ecology. 615 0$aMarine ecology. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Studies. 615 24$aSoil and Water Protection. 615 24$aConservation Biology. 615 24$aFreshwater and Marine Ecology. 676 $a333.7 700 $aBhatt$b Jay Prakash$01786200 701 $aMishra$b Ajay Kumar$0996317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983333803321 996 $aMahanadi River$94317584 997 $aUNINA
