"Social awareness of environmental problems and ecosystem limitation has been a major force behind the modern search for understanding forest hydrology. Research programme sponsored by government and private agencies in many countries has expanded continuously during recent decades in a synergistic search for new knowledge. Forest hydrology is clearly an interdisciplinary science, the union of forest and hydrology. It is also the science of water related phenomena that are influenced by forest cover with the advent of a "multiple-use" concept in forestry, and the recognition of water resources as a major goal along with timber, wild life and forest management. This book considers the various aspects related to forest-water and people interaction for better forest management and utilization of forest resources.

The book is divided into different parts covering process hydrology, agro-forestry and followed by extensive treatment of human and societal issues. It uniquely integrates the summary of research finding in forest hydrology and its allied subjects."

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
