Examining the nature and scope of large-scale surface irrigation in India, this book identifies the factors leading to poor performance from a political economy perspective and suggests viable options for institutional reforms. Using empirical data on irrigation financing and farmer participation, the authors go beyond merely making policy recommendations. They make detailed calculations of the costs of irrigation development, including both capital expenditure and recurring costs. They also examine the performance of reform measures that are already in operation in Karnataka and Rajasthan, as

This book explores the design and implementation issues of Mission Critical Operating Systems (MCOS) and Mission Critical Computing Systems (MCSS). The topics covered, which range from conceptual ideas to descriptions of concrete systems, have been organized into three parts - Operating system design concept, Real-time operating systems and Ada-based real-time systems. The successful operation of an MCCS depends critically on the way the MCOS performs its function. Therefore the design and implementation of an MCOS is vital. It is clear that the area of MCOSs holds many challenges for research

This is an introductory text for materials science and engineering. This book takes an integrated approach to materials, with an organization focusing on properties rather than classes of materials. Schaffer’s Science and Design of Engineering Materials, 2nd Edition will now be complemented by an e-Text. An e-Text is pdf. files of the mian text on CD-ROM. The entire contents of the Materials in Focus CD-ROM, which has previously complemented the book are also on the e-Text. Because the text and the Materials in Focus CD-ROM are now together on one CD-ROM, students are able to move bac
