What is Environmental Engineering?
Environmental Engineering is a very popular discipline of engineering that deals with the issues related to the environment. The Environmental Engineers devote themselves finding out renewable sources of energy and solutions to curb pollution and other environmental issues. They work for the sustainable development of the earth and its living organisms. They also make devices for waste and water management in rural and urban areas, improved sanitation system, to stop the water-borne diseases. They study the effects of technological growth on environment such as: the effects of global warming, pollution, reason for shortage of rainfall, acid rain etc. In short, the Environmental Engineers are constantly engaged in maintaining the health of the earth and the living creatures on it.
