Vedas are considered as an ocean of knowledge. Every bit of Vedas is very important each stanza, each line, each word has a significant meaning to it. For the language also supports its purpose. It is said that Sanskrit is the only nearest language which could be used to explain or describe anything clearly and specifically. It is the only Vedic Dharma where religion and science go in hand to hand. The Vedas contain in them the gems of all true sciences.

The book aquatic science in Veda deals with the combined approaches of modern science and ancient Vedic science. As we know that Indian scriptures and Sanskrit literature are the storehouses of knowledge. As we go through this literature they have innumerable illustrations of science, technology, water, pollution, environmental degradation etc.  The present book aquatic Science in Veda is an attempt to explore the knowledge of aquatic science, penetrate the mystery of the Vedas and  to search out in them the aquatic science including measures to overcome pollution, environmental degradation etc. The book is divided in chapters describing the importance of aquatic ecology as described in our Vedic literature.
