Institutional Choice in Irrigation: A Case Study of Distribution in A Command Area in Kerala

Environmental geography is the branch of geography that describes and explains the spatial aspects of interactions between humans and the natural world. It requires an understanding of the dynamics of geology, meteorology, hydrology, biogeography, ecology, and geomorphology, as well as the ways in which human societies conceptualize the environment. To a certain degree it may be seen as a successor of physical anthropogeography-a term coined by the Vienna Geographer Albrecht Penck in 1924-and geographical cultural or human ecology. The book offers comprehensive and up-to-date geographical information on all the aspects of the environment. It is an essential reading for the students of geography and environmental science. It will also be of great value to a broader social science audience interested in the application of social knowledge to the understanding of environmental problems at the global and local scales.
