This volume arises from the work of Roorkee Water Conclave 2020 and focuses on the hydrological aspects of climate change, hydrological extremes, and adaptation for water resources management. The research papers in this book are centred on themes such as climate change and water security, water resources management, and adaptation to climate change. This volume contains chapters on historical purview of the developments in water management, policy issues, latest development in sustainable water management including **** their **** practical applications, real time adverse impact on climate, and more. This volume will be useful to students, researchers as well as practitioners.

State-of-the-art research contribution from international and national experts in the area of Climate Change, Water Security, Hydrological Extremes and Adaptation to climate change Compilation of research and field experience of top researchers, professionals and field practitioners from India and abroad Latest development/applications of advanced tools and technologies for addressing water management related problems are discussed
