Environmental Nexus Approach: Management of Water, Waste, and Soil provides the linkages between environmental resources, such as water, waste, and soil to deal with sustainable management of resources. It shows the nexus approach as a policy-relevant means of environmental management by focusing on integrated management of water, waste, and soil resources. It synthesizes interdisciplinary theory, concepts, definitions, models and findings involved in complex global sustainability problem-solving, making it an essential guide and reference. It includes real-world examples and applications making the book accessible to a broader interdisciplinary readership. Features: • Explores the cutting-edge developments in environmental nexus of approach of water, waste and soil. • Introduces the key mechanisms regarding the antibiotic resistance genes, microplastics, and other emerging contaminants in water-waste-soil nexus. • Investigates the fate and behavior of heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, plastics and pesticides in soil systems and their risk assessment. • Provides the latest development in and current research perspectives, technology development, and critical thinking and societal requirements of environmental nexus between water, waste and soil. This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental science and engineering, environmental engineering, and waste management.
