Management and disposal of urban solid waste is a serious concern for environmentalists all over the world. Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) introduces recovery of recyclable and reusable materials and extraction of energy from solid waste before disposing it into landfill. For optimum recovery of materials waste collection, source separation, storage, and transportation are important activities. Hence treatment of solid waste, especially urban solid waste, is an interface of engineering and management practices. Treatment of Urban Solid Waste: Engineering and Integrated Management describes the principles or steps of ISWM, especially in the Indian context. Both engineering and management practices are discussed in detail. The Indian scenario of generating and treating urban solid waste is explained in the backdrop of international status. Latest technologies as well as current rules and regulations applicable in India are compiled for ready reference. This book will be useful for the post graduate students as well as for the practising environmental engineers engaged in the management of municipal solid waste.
