Abstract

This book evolved from a need to share with undergraduate students and profesional methods and models for understanding dynamic environmental problems. When we first undertook the challenge of educating students in these matters, we were faced with various text books-none of which satisfied our objectives. The module in the general environmental engineering field provides usefull background materials for students, but did not allow them to explore environmental problems through microcomputers and modelling application. Module in the environmental engineering, however, tended to be design for gradute student syllabus, often focusing on environmental engineering (eg. Wastewater treatment & disposal, Water pollution, Solid waste management and Air pollution). The emphasis of these modules was on course based; hence, the environmental pollution, global warming, wastewater treatment technology, wastes disposal techniques depth was too great and the environmental engineering subjects matter too narrow for our broad educational goals and expectation. Thus, we had set forth to develop an Environmental Engineering module text to had at least three objectives. First, the module needed to discuss some of the broad concepts of introduction to Environmental problems concept. Second, the module needed to describe the problem related theory, like water-air pollution estimation, sources, quality standards, treatment, disposals, and management.
