<p>This book tackles the complexities of water management in India. Using computational tools, it provides comprehensive information on water availability, demand, climate change, integrated management, and governance. A must-read for researchers, policymakers, and water managers.</p>

<p>The book is structured to provide a holistic understanding of water resources in India and the need for an integrated approach to their management. It explores various aspects of water management, including data collection and analysis, water allocation and planning, water quality management, and the intricate interdependencies within the water-energy-food nexus. One of the key focuses of this book is the application of computational approaches in the management of water resources. We explore the use of advanced modeling, simulation, and optimization techniques to facilitate decision making, assess water availability, and predict future scenarios. By employing computational tools, our goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation, empowering water managers, policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders to make informed and effective decisions.</p>

<p>Throughout the book, we present case studies highlighting the application of computational approaches in diverse water management scenarios in India. These case studies offer valuable information on real-world challenges and demonstrate the potential of computational techniques to address complex water resources problems. We also explore the importance of stakeholder engagement, participatory approaches, and collaborative governance models, recognizing the importance of inclusive decision-making processes and local knowledge in achieving sustainable water management. The book is expected to serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, professionals, and policymakers involved in water resource management in India. We aim to contribute to the ongoing efforts to ensure the availability of clean and adequate water resources for present and future generations.</p>

<p>Akhilesh Kumar Yadav Ph.D., MIE, earned a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Chaudhary Charan Singh University in Meerut, India. He then obtained a Master of Technology (M.Tech.) in Environmental Engineering from Madan Mohan Malaviya Engineering College in Gorakhpur, India (affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow).&nbsp; His doctoral degree, with a research focus on air pollution, was awarded by the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India. Dr. Yadav has served at various institutions, including the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, India, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India, the Bhabha Atomic Research Center in Mumbai, India (as a research collaborator) and Chaoyang University of Technology in Taichung, Taiwan.&nbsp; He has authored/co-authored several research and review articles, book chapters, and edited/authored books, and holds a patent.</p>

<p>Dr. Yadav received the Young Engineer Award from the Institution of Engineers (India) and the Young Scientist Award from VDGOOD Technology Factory, Kolkata. His research interests include air, water, and soil pollution; climate change; vulnerability; human health risk assessments; and GIS applications in environmental pollution and management. He is an active member of several reputed international professional bodies, including the IEI (Kolkata), ECI (New Delhi), AEACI (Mumbai), MSI (New Delhi), and IASTA (Mumbai).</p>

<p>Kanchan Yadav Ph.D. has experience in research writing, data analysis, study design, and methodology. She currently holds the position of Program Coordinator at Progressive Foundation, where she is responsible for overseeing and executing programs in the fields of Public Health and Education. Prior to this, she served as a Research Associate specializing in the utilization of microwave technology for the management of hospital waste and the purification of water while retaining precious minerals. Furthermore, she has served as the Research Director for a project in collaboration with the Government of India, focusing on adherence of tuberculosis medications. She has authored numerous research pieces that have been published in peer-reviewed journals and international conference proceedings.</p>
