Environmental Technologies for Sustainable Future
Environmental management is a multidisciplinary ἀeld that employs scientiἀc methodologies to monitor, plan, and regulate human interactions with the natural world. It plays a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges by integrating sustainable solutions. The Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) is a vital ecological zone that supports millions of people by providing essential resources such as water, biodiversity, food, and energy. Recognizing the signiἀcance of environmental sustainability, the book Environmental Technologies for a Sustainable Future explores innovative approaches to tackling environmental challenges. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, academicians, and policymakers, fostering a deeper understanding of sustainability-driven solutions.This book delves into critical topics such as the sustainable management of rainfed areas and forest ecosystem services, chromatographic studies and removal techniques for pharmaceutical drug residues and organochlorine pesticides in water, environmental pollutants and bioremediation techniques for pollution control, as well as air quality assessment methodologies and green environmental technologies. It further examines innovative approaches to water quality remediation, ecological laws and best practices in environmental management, microbial mitigation of lignin pollution, and the role of plant growth-promoting bacteria in sustainable agriculture. The discussion also extends to women’s participation in agroforestry and sustainable agricultural practices, adsorption methodologies for water puriἀcation using traditional and novel adsorbents, applications of advanced computer science in environmental sustainability, phytoremediation of heavy metals, and emerging environmental challenges along with their sustainable solutions. Each chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary environmental issues, oḀering scientiἀc insights and practical strategies for a sustainable future.
