India is a country that has made significant contributions in the field of philosophy, science and art. The most ancient scriptures in the world, the Vedas are the treasures of vast scientific knowledge. They contain several references on the weather cycle, rainfall phenomena, hydrologic cycle, environmental protection, ecological balance, and related subjects that indicate a high level of awareness possessed by the seers and people of that time. Hymns in the four Vedas, Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda, reveal full cognizance of the undesirable effects of climate change, water pollution, distortion in ecological balance, and environmental degradation, etc.
Many of the modern concepts of taking a holistic approach to ecological balance are reflected in ancient literature. Protection of rivers, lakes, and other water bodies, environment, ecology, as well as flora and fauna is their main message. It was well understood that wrong actions by individuals and society could harm the cycle of nature and its functions.
The Vedic sages explored all aspects of science. The Vedic visionaries visualized the laws of nature beyond time and space. The meteorological and atmospheric phenomena are described in detail in the ancient Indian scriptures
