ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

INTRODUCTION
Environmental Science is related to the sector of geo-hydrology hydrology,  and meteorology insofar as idea of groundwater flows is needed to realise pollutant transport. Engineers related to environment  are also connected with reduction and elimination of pollution,  industrial ecology and green engineering.

Environmental Science also introduce with the collection of huge data on the environmental consequences of proposed actions and the effect of assessment of proposed actions for the purpose of policy maker and assisting society   in the making process for decision.  The component of Environmental Science under Civil Engineering deals with the treatment of chemical, biological, and/or thermal waste, the purification of water and air, and the remediation of contaminated sites, due to prior waste disposal or accidental contamination. Aim of this course is to provide the students a basic understanding of Environmental Science for the sustainable development of the society.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING  LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Clearly understanding the relation between man and environment and the complications of environment.
2. Gathering knowledge about biosphere, ecosystem and biodiversity.
3. Studying the effect of different parameters like agriculture, urbanization, and solid waste management etc. of lithosphere.
4. Studying the issues related with atmosphere such as air pollution, global warming, ozone layer depletion etc.
5. To provide basic understanding of hydrosphere related topics like water pollution and prevention, wetland management, problems related with health and toxicology.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. The effect of human and their activities on environment would be understood.
2. Students would gather information on the environmental consequences of proposed actions and the assessment of effects of proposed actions.
3. The student would be benefited by knowing the treatment of chemical, biological, and/or thermal waste, the purification of water and air, and the remediation of contaminated sites, due to prior waste disposal or accidental contamination.
4. Another outcome of this course is to provide the students a basic understanding of Environmental Science for the sustainable development of the society.

Friend this is a introductory post. I am going to give you the proper instruction about bellow article:  

Topics for discussion
Introduction to environment and  man. Major environmental components.
Brief history of earth, bio-geo-chemical cycles, environment  and the population ; basic population dynamics.
Biosphere: ecosystem and ecological concept,
Flow of energy and matter  through an ecosystem.
Biodiversity; Lithosphere: environment and agriculture ; urbanization; waste management of hazardous and solid.
Solid and hazardous waste management; Atmosphere: chemistry of air; urban air pollution.
Global warming; acid rain;  ozone layer depletion; Hydrosphere: water chemistry.
Pollution of water and prevention
Water pollution and prevention; and coastal management and wetland 
Alternative energy sources.
Environmental health and toxicology.
Sustainable development.
