Reviews

This book is a comprehensive treatment of the important aspects of the river, its basin and the millions of people inhabiting it. The scientific rigor and treatment of the varied subjects by the eminent researchers and authors from the three riparian countries - India, Nepal and Bangladesh - and those with international experience makes the chapters excellent pieces for understanding and appreciation of the complex issues related to this unique river system. I consider this book as an humble offering to the service of 'Ma Gange' and all those interested in its divinity, river science and technology, irrigation and hydropower, people, policies and governance and transboundary cooperation, and more importantly restoring its health and glory, shall find it very useful. - From the Foreword by Ravi Chopra, People Science Institute, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India
