Sustainable Resource Management
Modern Approaches and Contexts
About this book
Sustainable Resource Management: Modern Approaches and Contexts presents the application of the current concept of sustainability to the management of natural resources, such as water, land, minerals and metals using theoretical field knowledge and illustrative real-world examples. Initially, the book defines sustainability, detailing its evolution and how it has been adapted to each of the contexts in which it is used. Furthermore, sustainability is made up of three main areas of scienceāenvironmental, social and economicāwhich are rarely considered together. This book is a complete reference guide to sustainability of natural resources for academics, researchers, practitioners and postgraduate-level students, and more.
As sustainability is an interdisciplinary field, linked to most sciences, it is also of use to all fields of science that need to maintain sustainable practices and specific details on the methodologies and techniques needed for sustainable resource management.
- Provides an integrated approach for modern tools, methodologies and indicators for sustainable resource management
- Evaluates emerging trends and advanced approaches in sustainable resource management, detailing the most up-to-date research and management considerations
- Describes advanced sustainable resource management technologies and presents case studies where applicable
