SOURCES OF WATER IN SOLAPUR

First of all, I would like to thank my Lord Almighty God, who has been most gracious to me by providing precious opportunity to complete this book, despite, many hindrances in my life. It would have been impossible to complete my book work, without the moral support and inspiration furnished, by my family members particularly my father late Hansraj Dalvi, mother Shrimati Jijabai Dalvi and my wife Ms. Priya Dalvi and my two son’s master Gaurav Dalvi and Saurao Dalvi and my brothers Somnath Dalvi and Vivek Dalvi and sisters Jayshree and Rajshree and my colleague Shri. Siddharth Gaikwad , for their support from time to time during the course of my Ph.D work. Finally, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all those who have helped me directly or indirectly in the completion of this work, particularly Master Saurao Dalvi for neat drawing of maps, diagrams and tables as well as typing of the thesis in the present form.
