The book entitled Drainage Basin Morphometric Methods and Analysis is a good assemblages of a host of Morphometric methods for quantifying and analyzing different elements of a drainage basin. Lucid style, step by step analysis and interpretation will help the reads to understand easily. This book also includes different application citing suitable examples from real world. Spatial priority analysis addressing a composite of morphometric elements help to understand the diversity of drainage basin characters. Analysis of morphometry-runoff-erosion trio will support to conceptualize how they are interlinked.

This book assemblages a good number of stream classification schemes by different scientists from different parameters. Methods of classifications, uses and limitations of these schemes have been depicted with due attentions. Authors have modified a few of the schemes and formulated one morphological and hydrological stream classification scheme based on the empirical information of the rivers of sub humid regions.

This book is a good storage of empirical data of a river Basin. With the help of advance and innovative techniques, different basin components have illustrated and analyzed. It has also attempted to present some generalized equations and models to predict future tendencies of some of the dynamic components of the basin. The dimensions of the book can be used as a baseline for river basin planning and management.

This book reveals the micro level status and relationship of process-form in the Lateritic Badland of Rarh Lateritic Tract specifically Santiniketan Badland of Birbhum District. Lateritic formation, hydrological and geomorphological evolution of the badland, spatial pattern of erosion tendency, slope models, morphometric pattern of the drainage, tentative yield of debris, conservation strategies to check soil erosion rate, evaluation and justification etc. have sincerely discussed in this book.

This book has dealt with river morphometric and morphological characteristics of Dwarka river basin and analyzed how these are linked with causes and consequences of flood. Spatial dynamism of flood over time, temporal trend of flood etc. have analyzed using some effective statistical techniques. This book has also devoted to explain ecological justification of settlement encroachment and agricultural invasion within flood plain. Effect of dam on river has illustrated in terms of pre dam and post dam condition and upstream and downstream of Dwarka river.

This book is concerned with beneficial aspects of the wetland and spatial pattern of wetland distribution in different parts of India and West Bengal in general and Bengal Basin specially Modibund delta, Extended Moribund delta and Rarh Bengal in particular. Genetic process, functional process, process of roaming etc. have clearly mentioned in this book. How wetland can determine the agricultural, settlement and demographic pattern and the existence of wetland sustenance are regulated by human being has explained in this book. Repeatedly, this book raises the question, is it economically and ecologically justified replacing the wetland in cost of short term profit.
