This book discusses, the issues with respect to consumption of water by the marginalised (poor) sections of the society and the efficacy of using pricing policy as a tool for overall demand management of household water.

Rapid industrialization is a serious concern in the context of a healthy environment.

This book details three main topics: the screening and characterization of hydrocarbons from air, soil and water; technologies in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons; and the bioconversion of hydrocarbons for biofuel/chemicals, as well as recent developments in the remediation of hydrocarbons and their environmental benefits.
