The book examines major environmental problems, their causes and consequences, and the approaches required for sustainable management of natural resources. Its central theme is the relationship between human activities, environmental change, resource utilization, and development.
The subject is particularly relevant to the study of environmental degradation in developing regions, where issues such as water scarcity, land degradation, pollution, depletion of natural resources, and pressure on ecosystems can have direct consequences for livelihoods and regional development. Patil's published research, for example, has examined groundwater depletion and watershed development in drought-prone Maharashtra, illustrating the connection between environmental-resource problems and rural development.
