Environmental management & conservation Vol.

From the time immemorial, our great Indian philosophers, seers and saints have stressed on the necessity for protecting and wisely using our natural resources. But the strides of modern science and technology have taken towards achieving power, prosperity and comforts have done incredible harm to environment, the damage that has been done already to ecosystem and biological diversity is difficult to repair.

An attempt has been made through this book to cover all those topics, in a consolidated form which will provide effective understanding of environmental issues, currently being faced by a common Indian. In the present publication the chapters on various topics like Environmental Ethics, Desalination of Brackish

Water, Rural Waste Water Treatment, Re-cycling of waste and Vermiculture Technique, Environmental Auditing, Energy Conservation Through Energy Audit, Importance and Applications of Bio-Diesel, Public Participation and Watershed Management, Mini-Hydel Projects and Environmental Conservation, Tourism and Environment, Public Partnership and Right to Information and Importance of Biogas Plants have been included besides annexures. The idea is to popularize concern about our environment and to conserve & protect it.
