This comprehensive book delves into the realm of hydrological models, which hold immense importance in predicting floods, droughts, soil moisture estimation, land use change detection, geomorphology, and water structures. It sheds light on recent advancements in hydrological modeling within the Ganga Basin and other globally significant river basins.

The impact of climate change on water resources is a pressing global concern, as water resources in numerous countries are already strained, exacerbated by factors such as population growth, rising standards of living, and increasing demand. Moreover, river basins are becoming less resilient to climate fluctuations. Hydrological modeling plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges, providing a framework for understanding water systems and forecasting future hydrological conditions.

Integrated water resources management is crucial for ensuring water and food security. It involves the comprehensive management of groundwater and solute transport, recognizing their critical role in mitigating the adverse consequences of natural disasters. This book offers valuable tools and techniques that will aid in managing water resources effectively and promoting sustainable development.

In conclusion, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the field of hydrology and water resources management. It provides a comprehensive understanding of hydrological models, highlights recent advancements, and emphasizes the importance of integrated water resources management in addressing the challenges posed by climate change and ensuring water security for future generations.
