Two basic tools for integrated management of the environment are
modeling and environmental data. Both tools were available and
valid in the past; however, the recent requirements for integrated
environmental management have also led to a significant evolution
of both modeling procedures and data management systems. Regarding
these advances, current literature provides vast amounts of studies
on modeling of different environmental processes. However, issues
related to data management systems are barely touched on in a
comprehensive framework. Data requirements and data availability
are mentioned merely as subtopics in most environmental studies,
although it is well recognized that data constitute the basis for
all environmental management activities. In particular, there is no
book yet published that focuses exclusively on data management
systems. In this respect, the present book fills an important gap
by providing a systematic approach to various aspects of
environmental data management. The contents of the book follow the
basic steps that constitute an environmental data management
system. These steps cover in sequence: collection of environmental
data for assessing air quality, surface water quality and solid
waste management; reliability considerations in data collection;
storage, handling and retrieval of available data; transfer of data
into information via data analysis and environmental modeling; and
finally the use of available data in decision-making for
environmental management. This volume will be useful to faculty
members, researchers, professional engineers, planners and
managers, and graduate students, who are involved in environmental
management, data collection anddissemination, and information
retrieval. It will also be of interest to research and data
centres, international programmes and organizations related to
environmental management.
