The interactions between groundwater and surface water are complex. To understand these interactions in relation to climate, landform, geology, and biotic factors, a sound hydrogeo-ecological framework is needed. The mechanisms of interactions between groundwater and surface water as they affect recharge and discharge processes are comprehensively outlined, and the ecological significance and the human impacts of such interactions are emphasized here. This thesis also over views the interaction process with variation of components of hydrologic cycle. Groundwater could be considered as an immense reservoir, from which only a certain amount of water can be withdrawn without affecting the quantity and quality of water. It is recognized that quantity and quality of groundwater are intimately related and should be considered accordingly. Though here only consider the quantitative analysis's of the sub-basin as to draw attention of riparian that how much inevitable the qualitative and quantitative management of groundwater resources.Keywords

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the overall prevalence of classical swine fever (CSF) in pigs in India, through a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data.
Materials and Methods: Consortium for e-Resources in Agriculture, India, Google Scholar, PubMed, annual reports of All India Coordinated Research Project on Animal Disease Monitoring and Surveillance,and All India Animal Disease database of NIVEDI (NADRES) were used for searching and retrieval of CSF prevalence data (seroprevalence, virus antigen, and virus nucleic acid detection) in India using a search strategy combining keywords and related database-specific subject terms from January 2011 to December 2015 in English only.
Results: A total of 22 data reports containing 6,158 samples size from 18 states of India were used for the quantitative synthesis, and overall 37% (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.24, 0.51) CSF prevalence in India was estimated. The data were classified into 4 different geographical zones of the country: 20% (95% CI=0.05, 0.55), 31% (95% CI=0.18, 0.47), 55% (95% CI=0.32, 0.76), and 34% (95% CI=0.14, 0.62). CSF prevalence was estimated in northern, eastern, western, and southern regions, respectively.
Conclusion: This study indicates that overall prevalence of CSF in India is much lower than individual published reports.

The purpose of RLA is merely to ensure full utilization of a plant upto its useful life. Just as human health assessment/checking starts from the birth and is needed at regular intervals based on some scientific reason to ensure relatively disease-free longer human life, metallurgical health assessment (another name of RLA) needs to be done from the beginning particularly where metallurgically hostile conditions prevail.
