Environmental engineers support the well-being of people and the planet in areas where the two intersect. Over the decades the field has improved countless lives through innovative systems for delivering water, treating waste, and preventing and remediating pollution in air, water, and soil. These achievements are a testament to the multidisciplinary, pragmatic, systems-oriented approach that characterizes environmental engineering. Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges outlines the crucial role for environmental engineers in this period of dramatic growth and change. The report identifies five pressing challenges of the 21st century that environmental engineers are uniquely poised to help advance: sustainably supply food, water, and energy; curb climate change and adapt to its impacts; design a future without pollution and waste; create efficient, healthy, resilient cities; and foster informed decisions and actions.

This book presents the proceedings of the First National Conference on “Sustainable Management of Environment & Natural Resource through Innovation in Science and Technology” (SMTST2020). The book highlights the latest development and innovations in the fields of sustainability, natural resource management, ecology and its environmental fields, geosciences and geology, atmospheric sciences, sustainability, climate change, and extreme weather, global warming, and global change, the effect of climate change on the ecosystem, environment, and pollution, as well as putting a strong emphasis on the multidisciplinary studies.

This book comprises of five units which covers the entire syllabus. Topics like principles of environmental science, environmental pollution, social issues like acid rain, global warming, etc are included. New developments like Green buildings and smart cities are also included. This book has been written in a simple and lucid manner. Most of these topics are traditionally taught in environmental science and engineering in several universities and institutes. Hence this book will be useful for other universities as well. Figures and tables are incorporated wherever necessary to make the concept clearer. This book also contains short questions with answers and review questions. Case studies on various environmental issues have been included. Author hopes that this book will be useful for both students and faculty alike.

The present volumes contain selected papers in the fields of Environmental Chemistry and Biology; Environmental Materials; Environmental Safety and Health; Environmental Planning and Assessment; Environmental Analysis and Monitoring; Environmental Engineering; Pollution Control Projects (Air, Water, Solid); Waste Disposal and Recycling; Water Supply and Drainage Engineering; Sound, Noise and Vibration Control; Clean Production Processes; Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering; Architectural Environment & Equipment Engineering; Soil and Water Conservation and Desertification Control; Environmental Protection; Cultivation and Conservation of Forest; Plant Protection and Biotechnology; Geographic Information and Remote Sensing Science; Land Resources Environment and Urban Planning. This up-to-date, comprehensive and worldwide state-of-the art knowledge will be of great value to anyone working in these fields.

This book contains the peer-reviewed papers that were accepted and presented at the 2023 13th International Conference on Environmental Science and Engineering (ICESE 2023), held in Leuven, Belgium, September 8–10, 2023. The conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to address advances in the field of environmental science and engineering including problems, solutions, and research directions. The contents of the book cover emerging and diverse topics, including environmental systems approach, clean technologies, environmental restoration and ecological engineering, wastewater and sludge treatment, climate and climatic changes, atmospheric modeling and numerical prediction, waste minimization, recycling and reuse, solid waste management, carbon capture and storage, and sludge treatment and reuse.

This monograph contains recent studies in eco-informatics, promising ideas and new challenges in information management for supporting sustainability in companies and other organization. The scope of this book includes sets of solutions which show different stakeholders’ viewpoints on sustainability. In individual chapters, authors discuss the role which Environmental Information Systems (EIS) play in the environmental conscious functioning of enterprise. New models, methods and tools supporting sustainability are presented. Emphasis is placed on the innovative approach to eco-friendly organization and coordination of transport, logistics processes and operations management. The information management and decision making in manufacturing and service organizations is highlighted. The scope of this monograph also encompasses topics related to the modeling and monitoring of climate change.
