Proceedings of the National Conference on Sustainable water resources management and impact of climate change, held by the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Hyderabad campus, held on March 5 & 6, 2010 -- Preface.

"The impact of climate change on water resources around the globe has serious implications like, changing water levels and climatic temperatures which in turn affect the economy and future as a hole. In addition, water resources are depleting day by day due to the exponential demand from sectors like irrigation, domestic consumption and industry. Along with quantity, quality is also deteriorating mainly due to the indiscriminate use of ground water to hazardous levels, pollution of rivers and improper management of waste water. Topics covered: Sustainable water resources planning and management ; Impacts of climate change on water resources management ; Systems approach to hydrologic problems and modeling ; Prediction in ungauged basins ; Water quality, wastewater treatment and management ; Groundwater issues, remediation and modeling ; Urban hydrology including storm water management ; Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing in water resources management ; Applicatios of ANN, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms to water resources planning and management ; Coastal Hydraulics ; Rain water harvesting, artificial recharge and water conservation measures ; Newer technologies in water resources management." -- Publisher's description.
