This book highlights the importance of ground water because knowing the groundwater level is important for several reasons, including understanding aquifer levels under static conditions and pumping conditions, determining how the levels interact with local surface water sources, and understanding how surface development has impacted the aquifer. Ground water pollution is more complicated than surface water pollution because the contaminated aquifer is very much difficult to treat and recover as compared to surface water body. This book provides an insight into the effect of change in physico-chemical parameters of water on human health. Dental fluorosis, methamoglobinaemia, Knock-Knee Syndrome are some typical diseases associated with ground water pollution. This book can be a very helpful tool for students and scholars to understand the groundwater dynamics and effect of ground water pollution on human heath described with examples and case studies.

This book is an attempt towards assessing the toxicity of certain pesticides on the survival of two free floating plants. Azolla cristata and Salvinia natans. In today¿s era pesticides and insecticides are ultimately finding their way into the aquatic ecosystems, hence posing a threat to the survival of the various plant and animal species inhabiting these systems. This book shall serve as basic guide to the researchers and students in understanding the toxicity of the widely chemicals on the plant diversity and survival.

Climate change and global warming resulting in unusual patterns of temperature and precipitation are widely recognized as the most significant environmental dilemma today. In this backdrop an attempt has been made to identify the trends of temperature and precipitation in Srinagar based on data from 1987-2014. The book shall serve as a useful resource for understanding the dynamics of temperature and precipitation in the era of global climate change. The book is a resource for understanding the impact of the changing climate on fragile ecosystems as well as help gain an insight into the future trends of temperature and precipitation in the temperate Himalayan ecosystems.
