Preface

This book provides an overview of current environmental issues and sustainable solutions. Nowadays, both developed and developing countries are paying much attention to environmental management practices. This book is a resource for students, researchers, and decision-makers in the field of environmental management. It consists of twenty-three chapters, each focusing on a certain environmental issue. The chapters are developed across five themes: natural resources, waste manage-

Chapter 1 presents a case study on developing the capabilities needed to adapt to freshwater shortages and enhance prospects for human security in Panchkahl Municipality, Kathmandu, Nepal. Data from the study suggest the need for further

Chapter 2 addresses microfinance practices and value-added, non-wood forest products for a sustainable environment, using a state in India as an example. This study reveals opportunities for using natural resources sustainably and encourages

Chapter 3 addresses the consequences of different processes in the grassland ecosystem in the shola forest and grassland mosaic of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve

Chapter 4 describes the effects of climatic variability on harmful algal blooms,

Chapter 5 addresses the need to improve models for effective communication and to answer policy-relevant questions. Study findings reveal that there is a need to improve communication between decision-makers and the public to advance knowledge and understanding of results at the appropriate decision-making hub

Chapter 6 discusses the rights and responsibilities of forest fringe communities in Ghana and Collaborative Forest Management (CFM) in the northern region. It explores the levels of awareness of communities of these rights and responsibilities.

Chapter 7 elaborates on microbial fuel cell technology and its application for dairy wastewater treatment. It provides useful insight for integrating this technology with existing conventional wastewater treatment methods to achieve the degradation of

Chapter 8 is a study of municipal solid waste generation in Dir City, District Dir Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. The study finds that the spatial
