This book is a sister volume to Volume 20 of theHandbook of Environmental Engineering Series, "Integrated Natural Resources Management", and expands on the themes of that volume by addressing the conservation and protection of natural resources in an environmental engineering context through state-of-the-art research methodologies and technologies. With a focus on water and wastewater treatment, the book takes a multidisciplinary approach to provide readers with an understanding of developments in natural resources technology over the last few decades, and how technology and industry methods will progress to ensure cleaner and sustainable methods of natural resources management. The key topics covered includebiological activated carbon treatment for recycling biotreated wastewater,composting for food processing wastes, treatment of wastewater from chemical industries, agricultural waste as a low-cost adsorbent,and the invention, design and construction of potable water dissolved air flotation and filtration plants. The book will be useful to environmental resources engineers, researchers, water treatment plant managers, chemical engineers, industrial plant managers, and environmental conservation agencies.

Au fur et à mesure que les activités humaines se sont étendues, occupant une plus grande partie de la surface de la Terre, nous avons involontairement perturbé le cycle de l'eau, ce qui a eu des conséquences sur l'écosystème de notre planète. Nous pouvons inverser cette tendance, notamment grâce à l'agriculture régénératrice. On parle beaucoup du rôle du carbone dans le changement climatique, mais l'importance de l'eau est moins connue. Intervenir au niveau du cycle de l'eau pourrait être le moyen le plus rapide d'avoir un impact et d'assurer notre sécurité alimentaire sur la planète. Préface Introduction Chapitre Un. Un nouveau paradigme de l'eau Chapitre Deux. Régénérer le cycle de l'eau Chapitre Trois. Préservation et restauration de l'écosystème Chapitre Quatre. Infrastructure verte et travaux de terrassement Chapitre Cinq. Redonner vie aux terres dégradées Chapitre Six. L'infrastructure verte dans les villes Chapitre Sept. Décoloniser notre relation avec la nature et construire une culture régénératriceConclusionCrédits photographiques.

When leaded gasoline was first developedin the 1920s, medical experts were quick to warn of the public health catastrophes it would cause. Yet government regulators did not heed their advice,and for more than half a century, nearly all cars used leaded gasoline, which contributed to a nationwide epidemic of lead poisoning. Bythe1970s, 99.8% of American children had significantly elevated levels of lead in their blood.Unleadedtells the story of how crusading scientists and activists convinced the U.S. government to ban lead additives in gasoline. It also reveals how, for nearly fifty years, scientific experts paid by the oil and mining industries abused their authority to convince the public that leaded gasoline was perfectly harmless.Combining environmental history, sociology, and neuroscience, Carrie Nielsen explores how lead exposure affects the developing brains of children andis linked to social problems including academic failure, teen pregnancies, and violent crime. She also shows how, even after the nationwide outrage over Flint's polluted water, many poorand minoritycommunitiesand communities of coloracross the United States still have dangerously high lead levels.Unleadedvividly depicts the importance of sound science and strongenvironmental regulations to protect our nation's most vulnerable populations.
