This book is a comprehensive guide for veterinary and humanitarian professionals to plan emergency responses for the care and welfare of animals. It covers various topics on disasters, such as principles of disaster management, operation planning, team deployment, etc., from the perspective of saving both livestock and the livelihood of vulnerable communities. The book also discusses the importance of early warning systems, biosecurity, techniques for data collection, one health approach, climate change, and appropriate mitigation strategies. It highlights different principles, approaches, and guidelines related to the rescue, relief, and management of animals during disasters. It also contains topics on the welfare of birds and the rescue and relief of wild animals. This book includes essential veterinary and life-saving supplies required by the relief providing teams during emergencies such as disasters. The book helps administrators understand the key aspects of welfare and management of animals during disasters and enable them to draft policies focusing on humans and animals' rescue & welfare and protection of livelihoods. It is an essential guide for veterinarians, humanitarian workers, field functionaries, farmers, disaster response forces personnel, etc., during various types of disasters and emergencies.

Presenting an in-depth coverage, this textbook brings together and integrates key topics including water resources, wastewater, air, and solid waste in a single volume. The textbook introduces a unique approach that emphases on the water and wastewater treatments with its distribution system and engineering. It begins by discussing the public health and sanitation, then covers the wastewater collection system and design, wastewater characteristics, natural purification water, different wastewater treatments, industrial and rural wastewater. Finally, the emerging technologies in the reuse/recycle of waste and processes to conserve the environmental resources are discussed. The text will be useful for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of civil and environmental engineering. Pedagogical features including solved problems, exercises and multiple-choice questions are interspersed throughout the book for better understanding. Discusses latest technologies and engineering design in water and wastewater management. Focusses on reuse and conservation of natural resources. Comprehensively covers topics on air pollution and noise pollution. Explains important topics including coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, water softening and water distribution. Includes pedagogical features including solved examples, exercises and multiple-choice questions with answers for better understanding of concepts.

Water and Wastewater Engineering Technology presents the basic concepts and applications of water and wastewater engineering technology. It is primarily designed for students pursuing programs in civil, water resources, and environmental engineering, and presents the fundamentals of water and wastewater technology, hydraulics, chemistry, and biology. The book examines the urban water cycle in two main categories, water treatment and distribution, and wastewater collection and treatment. The material lays the foundation for typical one-semester courses in water engineering and also serves as a valuable resource to professionals operating and managing water and wastewater treatment plants. The chapters in this book are standalone, offering the flexibility to choose combinations of topics to suit the requirements of a given course or professional application. Features: • Contains example problems and diagrams throughout to illustrate and clarify important topics. • Problems both in SI and USC system of units. • The procedure of unit cancellation followed in all solutions to the problems. • Design applications and operation of water and wastewater system emphasized. • Includes numerous practice problems with answers, and discussion questions in each chapter cover a range of engineering interventions to help conserve water resources and preserve water quality.
