Are SDGs a Myth?: Industrial Development and Water Pollution in India (Towards Sustainable Futures)

This book discusses the continued emphasis on development gains in India's national policies and its quest to meet its Sustainable Development Goals. It offers an analysis of the laws and infrastructure for environment protection in the country and its ineffectiveness in dealing with the water pollution which have had dire consequences on India's ecological landscape. The book, while highlighting the need and importance of industrial development, argues for sustainable measures to moderate and monitor such developmental efforts in the light of severe environmental degradations. Focusing on the state of Gujarat, it looks at published and un-published data on industrial development and water pollution levels and data obtained via applications filed under the Right to Information Act. It also offers a detailed account on the concentration of red industries which release the most hazardous pollutants and their effects on the environment. The authors look at the data from a theoretical and empirical perspective, offering insights into how the checks and balances levied by the state have been violated. They highlight the patterns and the trends which emerge from the study of these developmental efforts and underline the need to improve the effectiveness of policy instruments, and the need to diversify the existing mechanisms. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers of environment and development studies, public policy, sociology, law and governance, human ecology and economics.

Design wind Wind loading on low building has been an area of active investigation due to increasing public concern towards severe damage caused by windstorms in recent years. loading is mainly obtained from different codes, wherein the major source of information on which specifications are based is wind tunnel testing of scaled rigid models under simulated flow. Recent studies on full-scale/model-scale comparisons have brought out issues of flow simulations and measurement techniques with greater clarity, thus enabling improvements in existing information.Modeling of extreme value distribution has been used for deduction of design pressure coefficient. This is based upon generalized (3 parameter) Gumbel method. For this technique L-moment (Hosking 1990) has been used. Further design pressure coefficients for different zones of the building using extreme value distribution with central moments.
