This book contains information on solutions to soil, water and environmental issues. The deterioration of fertile soil, fresh, clean water, and hygienic and green environments for many reasons have created concerns among the scientific community. Soil, water and the environment are threatened by chemical applications (pesticides and fertilizers, for example), natural disasters (erosion, volcanic eruptions, etc.) and other anthropogenic activities (GHG emission, deforestation, urbanization, and more). Life is dependent on these resources. If the soil is lost, from where can we produce food? If water is lost, how will life persist? If the environment is not clean, how will living beings (humans, animals and birds) survive? This book demonstrates critical thinking about how we might save these precious resources.
