Sustainable development and pollution control are the key factors
in the development of strategies for the solution of environmental
problems. This book offers an integrated treatment of all aspects
of environmental protection and remediation. The presentation
encompasses physical and chemical fundamentals, technological
approaches as well as ecological, economic, and ethical aspects.
The discussion of regulatory issues includes a comparison of
environmental legislation in the US, Japan and Europe. The book
addresses students as a comprehensive text and serves as a handy
reference for environmental professionals in industry, consulting
services, administration, and environmental agencies and
associations.
In this volume the authors offer a comprehensive treatment of all
aspects of waste disposal and management. They illustrate these
aspects using numerous practical examples. They have included a
comparison of regulations in the United States, Canada and Japan,
as well as a review of United States environmental legislation -
both Federal and State - and a variety of case studies such as
Recycling Hawaii and barge wastes.

Salinization of soils is a major threat to irrigated agriculture
and counteracts the targets of costly public infrastructure
investments. In this study, salinization is regarded as the outcome
of an institutional arrangement which impedes the effective
implementation of well-known and well-established control measures
be they technical, managerial or economic. In public irrigation
systems neither the management units nor the farmers are offered
any incentives towards the control of high groundwater levels and
salinization if the management units are embedded in a highly
centralized non-market institutional setting. The author answers
the question under which conditions management units and irrigators
are active in halting and reversing the process of salinization.
This volume gives a state of the art view of recent developments in
the use of artificial neural networks for the analysis of remotely
sensed satellite data. Remote sensing has now become a discipline
in which ever increasing volumes of data, gathered from space
together with growing application needs for high precision spatial
products, need to be interpreted in shorter times and with
increasing accuracy. Neural networks, as a new form of
computational paradigm, seem well suited to many of the tasks
involved in remotely sensed image analysis. This book demonstrates
a wide range of uses of neural networks for remote sensing
applications and provides the views of a large number European
experts brought together in the framework of a concerted action
supported by the European Commission.
