Ecohydrology of Kerala

Ecohydrology of Kerala by Salom Gnana Thanga Vincent, Tim C. Jennerjahn, Soman Kunjupillai, and Srikumar Chattopadhyay offers a compelling, region-focused exploration of water, ecosystems, and society in Kerala — a landscape shaped by the monsoon, the Western Ghats, and a complex network of backwaters and estuaries. This authoritative volume draws on field research and interdisciplinary insight to illuminate how hydrological processes and ecological patterns interact across coastal plains, wetlands, and river basins.

Discover richly described case studies that connect science to local realities: seasonal monsoon dynamics, groundwater recharge, mangrove and estuarine functioning, and human-driven land-use change. The authors translate technical findings into practical lessons for sustainable water management, conservation planning, and climate resilience — essential reading for environmental professionals, planners, researchers, and students focused on South India and coastal ecosystems.

Why this book matters: Kerala’s unique geography and intense rainfall make it a living laboratory for modern ecohydrology. The text balances rigorous data with accessible explanations, offering maps, conceptual models, and policy-relevant recommendations that support on-the-ground decision making. Whether you’re involved in watershed restoration, wetland protection, or coastal management, this book equips you with regional perspectives and tools to address flooding, salinity intrusion, and biodiversity loss.

A must-have reference for anyone engaged with Kerala’s water future — from local practitioners to international researchers — Ecohydrology of Kerala helps translate science into sustainable action.
