"The built environment touches all aspects of our lives, encompassing the buildings we live in, the distribution systems that provide us with water and electricity, and the roads, bridges, and transportation systems we use to get from place to place. It can generally be described as the man-made or modified structures that provide people with living, working, and recreational spaces. Creating all these spaces and systems requires enormous quantities of materials. In environmental engineering, these experts apply their technical background and knowledge to design and carry out ecological solutions to everyday situations that maintain or increase productivity while protecting our natural resources. Environmental engineers provide expert guidance by determining and establishing solutions to global warming and other ecological problems to protect nature and improve people's quality of life. This book will be of interest to students and professionals of engineering of various branches"-- Back cover.
