This edited book has been designed to serve as a natural resources
engineering reference book as well as a supplemental textbook. This
volume is part of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series, an
incredible collection of methodologies that study the effects of
pollution and waste in their three basic forms: gas, solid, and liquid.
It complements two other books in the series including Environmental
and Natural Resources Engineering and Integrated Natural Resources
Management that serve as a basis for advanced study or specialized
investigation of the theory and analysis of various natural resources
systems.
This book covers the management of many waste sources including those
from agricultural livestock, deep-wells, industries manufacturing dyes,
and municipal solid waste incinerators. The purpose of this book is to
thoroughly prepare the reader for understanding the sources, treatment
and control methods of toxic wastes shown to have harmful effects on the
environment. Chapters provide information on some of the most innovative
and ground-breaking advances in waste characterization, control,
treatment and management from a panel of esteemed experts.
