This volume presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Innovative Technologies for Clean and Sustainable Development (ICITCSD ¿ 2021), held at the National Institute of Technical Teachers Training & Research and Chitkara University, Himachal Pradesh, India. It covers several important aspects of sustainable civil engineering practices, dealing with effective waste and material management, natural resources, industrial products, energy, food, transportation and shelter, environmental impact mitigation, waste minimization and management, sustainable infrastructure, and geospatial technology for sustainable and clean environment. Emphasis is placed on conserving and protecting the environment and the natural resource base essential for future development. The book includes case studies and ongoing research work from various fields related to civil engineering presented by academicians, scientists, and researchers. The book also discusses engineering solutions to sustainable development and green design issues. Special emphasis is given on qualitative guidelines for the generation, treatment, handling, transport, disposal, and recycling of wastes. The book is intended as a practice-oriented reference guide for researchers and practitioners. It will be useful for anyone working in sustainable civil engineering and related fields.

The publication in your hands records the upcoming, operation, maintenance and other related aspects of the Internationally known Bhakra, Beas and Ranjit Sagar Dams ¿ the Modern Temples of Resurgent India. For the inputs for this publication the technical literature associated with these dams viz. Planning, Design and Construction Specifications; Operation and Maintenance Manuals; Technical Papers published and presented in various technical forums and seminars in India and abroad and recorded experiences of eminent Engineers who were associated with the work on these projects have been referred. The inputs of the authors based on their vast experience of remaining intensely associated with the construction, operation and maintenance aspects of these projects throughout their professional careers have further added to the richness on the content matter. The result is in form of present volume as a rich repertoire of an insight into historic events, nuances of engineering, technical skills required and used to carryout works of mammoth proportions and the prosperity ushered in Northern India due to accomplishment of Bhakra, Beas and Ranjit Sagar dams.
