This book introduces many new concepts and tactics for monitoring and assessing aspects that contribute to environmental degradation. This book will also cover wastewater treatment, groundwater, and the use of GIS tools in waste management. Bioremediation methodologies and construction and demolition wastes will receive special attention. This book covers an assortment of waste utilisation methods, such as brick production and use in wastewater treatment units. This book is meant to be of significant use to students and researchers, industrialists and academicians working in the field of environmental engineering and sciences. This can also help many colleges and institutes throughout the world who have built new prospectuses and provide specialised courses on environmental and sustainable development. Lastly, this book will be useful to all policymakers, whether in government or commercial enterprises, for the correct planning and implementation of waste management programmes.
