Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. This book is an attempt to provide a comprehensive and coherent description of three widely separated aspects of clays: the science of clays, the industrial uses of clays, and the role of clays in the environment. Most of the existing literature lacks such as integrated study and this work endeavours to fill that gap. An exhaustive account of the science of clays is presented in Part I of the book, which includes the classification, origin and evolution, composition and internal structure, chemical and physical properties of clays soil mechanics and analytical techniques for determining clay constituents. Part II provides a comprehensive description of the applications of clays and their derivatives in various industries, while Part III describes the role of clays in the environment the pollution caused by clay minerals and the application of clays in order to prevent environmental hazards. A principal feature of the book is its explanation of how the structure and composition of particular clay types facilitate their specific industrial of environmental applications, thus describing the interrelationship between three widely varying aspects of clay. A number of thought provoking questions are raised at the end of the work in order to leave readers with a better insight in this regard.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. Climate Change and Island and Coastal Vulnerability is the outcome of a selection of peer reviewed edited papers presented a the International Workshop on Climate change and Island Vulnerability (IWCCI) held at Kadmat Island Lakshadweep, India in October 2010. Marine and coastal biodiversity sea level rise vulnerability, fisheries climate change impact on livelihood options water and sanitation in island ecosystem and mitigation, adaptation and governance are the focal themes. The basic concept conveyed in the book is that biodiversity of islands is to be protected as a natural mechanism to mitigate climate change. Probability recurrence of mass coral bleaching and the management of coral reefs and their future protection are discussed in this book. Marine productivity and climate change for the last ten thousand years in the Arabian Sea have been examined with core records. Green technology is suggested as an important tool for mitigation and adaptation programmes in climate change. Measures taken to project biomass utilisation of islands as an energy source is delineated. Climate change may pose a potential threat on human health. Improved sanitation packages and models that are cost effective and environment friendly for islands are uniquely presented in this book.…

Way forward and future strategies/Pradip K. Sikdar. Index. This book deals with the challenges for efficient groundwater management, with a focus on South Asia and India, providing a balanced presentation of theory and field practice using a multidisciplinary approach. Groundwater of South Asia is increasingly confronted with overuse and deteriorating quality and therefore requires urgent attention. Management of the stressed groundwater system is an extremely complex proposition because of the intricate hydrogeological set-up of the region. Strategies for sustainable management must involve a combination of supply-side and demand-side measures depending on the regional setting and socio-economic situations. As a consequence, the challenges of the efficient groundwater management require not only a clear understanding of the aquifer configuration, but also demand for the development of a comprehensive database of the groundwater occurrences, flow system in each hydrogeological setting. In addition drilling and well construction methods, that are appropriate to different hydrogeological formations, need to be implemented as well as real- time monitoring of the status of the groundwater use. Also corrective measures for groundwater that is threatened with depletion and quality deterioration need to be installed. Finally the legal framework of groundwater needs to be rearticulated according to the common property aspect of groundwater. These challenges should revolve around effective groundwater governance by creating an atmosphere to support and empower community-based systems of decision-making and revisit the existing legal framework and groundwater management institutions by fostering community initiatives. This book is relevant for academics, professionals, administrators, policy makers and economists who are concerned with various aspects of groundwater science an.…
