Prehistoric River Saraswati, Western Indiageological appraisal and social aspects /[electronic resource] :by K.S. Valdiya. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xv, 136 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Society of earth scientists series,2194-9204. - Society of earth scientists series..

Mighty Tempestuous River Geomorphic Layout of the Saraswatī Land Structural Framework and Tectonics of the Saraswatī Basin -- Portrayal, Identification and Delineation of the River Saraswatī -- Sediments Deposited by the River Saraswatī -- Peopling of the Saraswatī Land -- Decline and Demise of the Saraswatī River -- Return and Revival of the Saraswatī.

This book portrays the Himalayan-born River Saraswati, a legendary river that was the lifeline of a progressive and vibrant society for more than three thousand years. Written in simple language and richly illustrated, it highlights the events that resulted in the robbing of the Saraswati of its water and the end of a wonderful culture. The author weaves a geological narrative out of a mass of data generated by explorers, archaeologists, sedimentologists, geohydrologist, seismologists and remonte-sensing specialists. The story explains how a great Himalayan river disappeared and how the Harappan Civilization vanished from the banks of the river Saraswati more than three and half thousand years ago in the wake of tectonic upheavals in the foothills of the Himalaya at a time when the rainfall had drastically declined. And it reveals that nowadays the Saraswati is an extraordinary wide water-less channel coursing through the vast but dry floodplain in western India.
