The present book is a compendium presenting a comprehensive account of the ecology and concerned issues relating to the wetland ecosystems of the Indian desert, about which little is known. Based on the first-hand study and investigations by the author for over four decades on the subject, it offers a large body of authentic information, including updated records on floral and faunal diversity about these otherwise neglected ecosystems. It should be useful to environmentalists, wetland scientists, scholars and those keen on the subject.
