Reviews
The book will also be found useful by the experts in a particular domain, for acquiring a working knowledge of other domains. Water resources engineers will find useful the chapters on minerals management, while mining engineers will find useful the chapters on, say, energy management. All technocrats working in water, energy and mining sectors would do well to read Section 5 on 'Bio resources and bio diversity'. [...] [S]trongly recommended for all, specialists as well as others. Chetan Pandit, Current Science, Vol. 104, No. 1, pp. 127-128 Aswathanarayana has drawn extensively from academic studies, authoritative sources and publications not easily accessible, and hence the book will be of enormous value as reference guide for researchers and students. He has gifted the scientific community a comprehensive publication on water science, natural resources, environment and their holistic management. ... Nicely drawn figures, illustrations, lucidly written text replete with many examples and well-researched data tables have enormously enriched its value. Exercises at the end of the chapters will invariably help the students not only to learn, but also to comprehend the subject. Subhajyoti Das, Journal of the Geological Society of India, Vol. 81, March 2013, pp. 436-437
