"Man\'s concern in depleting environment during the recent past, and delirium developing out of incoherent atmosphere has generated enormously huge quanta of scientific information that too with stunning speed. The data so breaded carry profound and indelible imprint on socio-economic scenario of the world where we live.

The dynamics and size of information collected is so vast and varied that many a times, it becomes unmanageable to compare and comprehend. Information technology which emerges as a bright and befitting branch of science can provide a helping hand to modern environmental technologists. Packaging and analysis of data is a friendly and fanciful device that yields results with the aid of software and that too with unimaginable accuracy and unthinkable proficiency. In fact, one of the prime goals of juvenile science, such as enviroinformatics is to devise recourse against ailing environment.

This book entitled "Envoinformatics" is the unique compilation of some research articles of great environmental technologists which will be helpful in opening a new vista in the field envirotechnology. The present book will be useful to the students, research scholars, technologists in the field of environmental management and ecoplanners, politicians."
