Synopsis This book is the outcome of research papers presented in the international and national conferences / seminars / workshops, by the authors. This book emphasizes on environmental to function indefinitely without going into a decline from the stresses (such as soil, water, and air) that maintain life. When the environment is sustainable, humanity’s present needs are met without endangering the welfare of future generations.

With this background, the authors have made a sincere effort to compile the selected papers written on different points of time which reverberated the major environmental events in the world.
