This volume in the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and
Technology, Second Edition, brings together chapters examining
water, energy, minerals and the environment in a holistic approach
to land use planning and utilization. The work examines some of the
problems, techniques, and solutions for managing resources so that
a balance can be maintained between development and the
environment. As world population increases, greater demand is
placed on finite resources that earth can provide. Geographic areas
once judged inadequate or inappropriate for construction, water and
wastewater management, or transportation routes, among other
activities, are being considered for, and being used, for
development. Topics covered in this volume include impacts of
natural disasters such as earthquakes and sinkholes, water and its
use, overuse, and role in energy generation, and carbon
sequestration. The topics covered here all play a role in
development and the potential to sustain a growing world
population. Interactions among system components mean that no
single aspect can be addressed without including another.
Environmental Geology places these different factors into
perspective so that scientists, politicians, economists, planners,
and stakeholders can work together to develop solutions that
provide an acceptable balance between development and the
environmental services on which we all depend.
