It includes the relationship and interdependencies that exist between people and natural resources. Environmental change is thus the product not only of natural events but also of the application of development models practices and life styles. The last two decades have seen a renewed interest in the use of environmental management as part of an integrated approach toward disease vector control. This interest has originated in part from a growing concern about the possible adverse health impacts of the continued development of water resources. This book discusses various techniques for environmental assessment and management. It will enable the users to incorporate the principles of environmental management and sustainable development into their daily activities particularly in their efforts to promote a sustainable equitable and participatory development process. It will also enable them to identify environmental opportunities as well as constraints when pursuing economic and social development objectives. 287 pp.
