Geo Environmental Appraisal for Optimum Land Use Planning | A Watershed Approach

This book is for investigators and planners in watershed management. It explains key facts and concepts simply to help assess geo-environmental elements in watershed planning. While not all sections are in-depth for specialists, the focus is on practical use at the micro-land-parcel level. The book fits within applied geography. This book uses basic physical and physiological principles to explain micro-level watershed planning. Concepts are informed by the author’s practical experience with the Watershed Research Project in Bankura, West Bengal. This book is based on the PhD Thesis of Dr. Sumit Roy (Author), conducted under the guidance of Dr. Malay Mukhopadhay, Department of Geography, Visva Bharati, Santiniketan, West Bengal in 2010.
