It offers comprehensive coverage of topics crucial to the development of sustainable, efficient, and resilient rural and agri-infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters explore a wide range of themes including smart irrigation systems, water resource modeling, rural connectivity, agri-logistics and post-harvest transportation planning, GIS-enabled land and infrastructure optimization, and structural innovations in rural and agricultural settings. Emphasis is placed on civil engineering applications that address pressing agricultural challenges—such as water accessibility, transport inefficiencies, infrastructure bottlenecks, and environmental resilience—through a mix of field studies, experimental insights, and simulation-based research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also includes insights into climate-responsive rural infrastructure design, accessibility mapping using geospatial tools, planning of agricultural supply chains, and strategies for minimizing losses in post-harvest transport. It highlights interdisciplinary approaches to improving farm-to-market systems, water-energy management in irrigation, and structural requirements for storage, mobility, and sustainability in agri-based regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book can serve as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, planners, and policy experts working in transportation systems, water resources, agri-infrastructure, and sustainable rural development by synthesizing engineering practices with agricultural needs. It also offers practical insights for postgraduate scholars and industry practitioners seeking real-world applications of civil engineering in agriculture and allied fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Anuj Kishor Budhkar \u003c\/strong\u003eis an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, India.
