Solid Waste Management and Safe Drinking Water in Context of Mizoram and Other States in India by Rajendra Prasad Pdf

Water is the most essential commodity for human consumption and one of the most important renewable resources, which must be prevented from deterioration in quality and quantity both. With rapid growing population and improved living standards, the pressure on water resources is increasing. Exploitation of water from the resources for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes puts resources. Pollution of surface and subsurface water resources poses a serious threat to human health and environment. The surface water sources are largely influenced by anthropogenic activities. As most surface water sources are already polluted by rapid urbanization and industrialization, its adverse effects on shallow subsurface groundwater aquifers are a cause of concern as large population is depending on it. The chemical composition of groundwater is related to the soluble products of rock weathering and decomposition and changes with respect to time and space. Some elements are essential in trace amounts for human consumption while higher concentrations of the same can cause toxic effects. Water quality depends on local geology, distance from sea, industrial zone, agricultural area and urbanization.

Green Chemistry for Greener Environment by Dr. Raghvendu Pathak Pdf

The residual wilderness & beauty of nature excites not only me but each one of us from our core & any damage to the 'mother earth' wittingly or unwittingly by our own actions certainly move us & create an intrinsic desire to protect our nature & environment. Right from nomadic or pastoral economy to the settled economy & to this date of so called unbridled development for our own comfort, we have been exploiting our nature with unbridled greed & impunity without realizing the fact that these dastardly acts of ours inflict irreparable damage to our 'mother earth' & environment. From industry to chemistry & from desires to development - all lead somehow or other to air, water, soil & several other forms of pollution & finally to global climate change & species extinction. Moreover, the ''evolutes'' from fossil-fuels to those from labs & coal-fired electricity generating units inflict considerable damage to our environment. From this state of desperation & desolation & conflict between so called development & conservation issues, arose a host of committed individuals worldwide who took the onus to protect our environment from further degradation. In fact, damage to the environment over the years has become so savage & brute due to uncontrolled exploitation of the nature, that the environmental protection has become one of the prime concern of the humanity these days. In this context the publication of this book/compilation on 'Green Chemistry for Greener Environment' has become so important.

Drinking Water Quality Assessment and Management by S.K. Gupta,I.C. Gupta Pdf

Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) of the UN General Assembly states that ‘Governments to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’. It concentrates on all aspects of the water cycle: water; water resources management; water-use efficiency; water quality; waste water management; sanitation and health; and protecting freshwater ecosystems’. Contrarily, we daily witness the most perplexing paradox of merciless waste and pollution of water despite being aware that water is inadequate and is not going to last for long. Water inadequacy, be it physical, economical or quality related, is spreading fast to cover every continent. Although allocation of water to domestic sector in terms of total water use is quite less yet as per United Nations statistics water is impacting over 2 billion people who live in countries experiencing high water stress and about twice this number experience water scarcity at least for a month every year. The current book dwells upon the water quality issues and its impact on water supply scenario in general and domestic sector in particular. The book has been divided into seven chapters namely: Water Resources: Supply and Demand; Water Pollution; Water Quality Parameters and Standards; Laboratory Analysis of Water Samples; Raw Water Treatment; Treatment of Polluted Water; and Tips for Water Conservation. The topics covered in this book are quite relevant to civil engineers in general and public health engineers in particular, environmental specialists, agricultural engineers and all those concerned with water in any manner. It should prove to be a valuable reference for field practitioners, researchers, and policy makers. The topics/chapters included in the book have direct relevance to several Government sponsored programs such as National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) and Namami Gange Programme of the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Development and Promotion of Clean Technologies of MoEF, and Many schemes of CGWB and CPCB. It can prove to be a valuable academic asset for libraries of colleges and universities worldwide.

Integrated Waste Management in India by Marimuthu Prashanthi,Rajakumar Sundaram Pdf

This book provides insights into the current status of waste management in India and research approaches to minimize waste and convert useful waste into energy alternatives towards achieving environmental sustainability. It also discusses the implications of waste on human health and approaches to minimize the burden. Waste disposal, especially municipal solid waste (MSW), is one of the major environmental problems facing Indian cities. Inadequate management of MSW poses risks to inhabitants and is also a breeding ground for various diseases. Environmental health and the impact of waste on health is another major topic that has to be addressed. In India, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and social welfare groups play a major role in collecting and managing waste. However, waste management is still a huge problem and has also expanded into rural areas. Contributed research papers from academic studies and industry focus on applied waste-management methods currently being practiced, waste strategies and ecofriendly approaches such as bioremediation. The outcomes of the research contributions in the book will be useful in implementing and developing a task force to combat the waste-management and energy-demand crises.

Microorganisms in Environmental Management by Tulasi Satyanarayana,Bhavdish Narain Johri,Anil Prakash Pdf

Microbes and their biosynthetic capabilities have been invaluable in finding solutions for several intractable problems mankind has encountered in maintaining the quality of the environment. They have, for example, been used to positive effect in human and animal health, genetic engineering, environmental protection, and municipal and industrial waste treatment. Microorganisms have enabled feasible and cost-effective responses which would have been impossible via straightforward chemical or physical engineering methods. Microbial technologies have of late been applied to a range of environmental problems, with considerable success. This survey of recent scientific progress in usefully applying microbes to both environmental management and biotechnology is informed by acknowledgement of the polluting effects on the world around us of soil erosion, the unwanted migration of sediments, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the improper treatment of human and animal wastes. These harmful phenomena have resulted in serious environmental and social problems around the world, problems which require us to look for solutions elsewhere than in established physical and chemical technologies. Often the answer lies in hybrid applications in which microbial methods are combined with physical and chemical ones. When we remember that these highly effective microorganisms, cultured for a variety of applications, are but a tiny fraction of those to be found in the world around us, we realize the vastness of the untapped and beneficial potential of microorganisms. At present, comprehending the diversity of hitherto uncultured microbes involves the application of metagenomics, with several novel microbial species having been discovered using culture-independent approaches. Edited by recognized leaders in the field, this penetrating assessment of our progress to date in deploying microorganisms to the advantage of environmental management and biotechnology will be widely welcomed.

Improving Municipal Solid Waste Management in India by P U Asnani,Chris Zurbrugg Pdf

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a matter of great concern in the urban areas of developing countries. The municipal authorities who are responsible for managing municipal solid waste are unable to discharge their obligations effectively because they lack the in-house capacity to handle the complexities of the process. It is heartening to see that the World Bank has prepared this book covering all important aspects of municipal SWM in great depth. The book covers very lucidly the present scenario of SWM in urban areas, the system deficiencies that exist, and the steps that need to be taken to correct SWM practices in compliance with Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 ratified by the Government of India. The book shares examples of best practices adopted in various parts of the country and abroad, and very appropriately covers the institutional, financial, social, and legal aspects of solid waste management, which are essential for sustainability of the system. It provides a good insight on how to involve the community, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to help improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service, and shows how contracting mechanisms can be used to involve the private sector in SWM services. This book will be a very useful tool for city managers and various stakeholders who deal with municipal solid waste management in the design and execution of appropriate and cost-effective systems.
