Wetlands are vital for human survival. They are among the world's
most productive environments as they are cradles of biological
diversity that provide the water and productivity upon which
countless species of plants and animals depend for survival.
Wetlands provide habitat for thousands of species of aquatic and
terrestrial plants and animals as well as a number of societal
benefits such as food and habitat for fish and wildlife, water
quality improvement, flood storage, shoreline erosion control,
economically beneficial natural products for human use, and
opportunities for recreation, education, and research. According to
the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Wetlands,
more than one-third of the United States' threatened and endangered
species live only in wetlands, and nearly half use wetlands at some
point in their lives. This book offers a comprehensive look at the
importance of wetland conservation, its challenges, and future
aspects. The book highlights the challenges of wetland conservation
and current scenarios of existing wetlands; the importance of the
inland wetland and its conservation is particularly highlighted as
it is critical and very important in the current existing wetland
scenario. This book is critical for industries, academics, research
scholars, and environmental consultants who are practicing wetland
management.

The book presents the challenges inherent in the paradigm shift of
network systems from static to highly dynamic distributed systems -
it proposes solutions that the symbiotic nature of biological
systems can provide into altering networking systems to adapt to
these changes. The author discuss how biological systems - which
have the inherent capabilities of evolving, self-organizing,
self-repairing and flourishing with time - are inspiring
researchers to take opportunities from the biology domain and map
them with the problems faced in network domain. The book revolves
around the central idea of bio-inspired systems -- it begins by
exploring why biology and computer network research are such a
natural match. This is followed by presenting a broad overview of
biologically inspired research in network systems -- it is
classified by the biological field that inspired each topic and by
the area of networking in which that topic lies. Each case
elucidates how biological concepts have been most successfully
applied in various domains. Nevertheless, it also presents a case
study discussing the security aspects of wireless sensor networks
and how biological solution stand out in comparison to optimized
solutions. Furthermore, it also discusses novel biological
solutions for solving problems in diverse engineering domains such
as mechanical, electrical, civil, aerospace, energy and
agriculture. The readers will not only get proper understanding of
the bio inspired systems but also better insight for developing
