| Preface | The growing concern for environmental sustainability and public health has made waste management one of the most pressing challenges of our time. With rapid urbanization, industrialization, and population growth, the generation of solid, liquid, and hazardous wastes has increased significantly, posing threats not only to ecosystems but also to human well-being. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive understanding of scientific principles, engineering practices, legal frameworks, and sustainable technologies. This book, Solid, Liquid and Hazardous Waste Management, is an attempt to provide students, researchers, and professionals with a systematic and holistic approach to the subject. It covers the fundamental concepts, classification, collection, storage, treatment, and disposal methods for different types of waste, while also highlighting modern techniques such as recycling, resource recovery, and waste-to-energy. Special emphasis has been placed on the Indian scenario, contemporary regulatory frameworks, and recent amendments to waste management rules, ensuring that the content remains both relevant and practical. The first edition has been carefully structured to meet the academic requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in environmental engineering, civil engineering, architecture, urban planning, and allied disciplines. At the same time, it is designed to serve as a useful reference for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers working in the field of waste management. This book is the result of continuous learning, research, and interaction with students and experts. |
