Hence, further research is needed in addition to the existing methods of protection in terms of more fault prediction accuracy, speedy operation, and lower protection cost with zero error in the detection of faults. The book will be useful reference for practitioners from academia and industrial applications.
Advancement in Solid Waste Management and Treatment
by Izharul Haq Ajay S. Kalamdhad Meena KhwairakpamSludge from water and wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste, and contamination of natural water resources have emerged as major problems in emerging nations. Urbanization, industrialization, population growth, and other human-caused phenomena are the main causes. One of the biggest obstacles to the environment's sustainable development is the rate at which solid waste is increasing. Unmanaged solid waste and sludge from wastewater and water treatment facilities may be the source of environmental issues and health risks. The book emphasizes the value of utilizing recycled materials while presenting innovative techniques and technological solutions to address the issues described above. The majority of developing nations are able to implement waste treatment technologies, such as composting, anaerobic digestion, plastic recycling, and the use of agricultural waste in construction, because they are affordable, environmentally friendly, and generate economic returns. The book's objective is to assist all those working in the world's top academic and research institutions who are engaged in teaching, research, and solid waste management, water, and wastewater treatment studies. Future researchers, scholars, scientists, and professionals in the domains of environmental science and engineering, as well as international and local authorities and policy makers in charge of the management of solid wastes and sludge, will find this book to be of immeasurable value. Universities throughout the world can create fresh prospectuses on environmentally friendly and sustainable waste and sludge management that connect to the book's theme. This book can be a very helpful resource for creating and managing initiatives for recycling and trash reuse.

Advancement of GI-Science and Sustainable Agriculture: A Multi-dimensional Approach (GIScience and Geo-environmental Modelling)
by Jayanta Das Somenath HalderThis book describes the contributing aspects of contemporary developments related to sustainable agricultural resources and assessment of sustainable agriculture in developing nations. The issues like food crisis and declining agro-productivity, post-pandemic food security, zonation and mapping technique viewing food crisis, biotechnology and sustainable agricultural, scaling hunger indices, health hazard and food crisis, changing climate and food availability, consumer load and fertilizer usage, growing demand and increasing usage of harmful chemical in agro-fields are regarded as serious concerns. Thereafter, the scope of sustainable agricultural potentiality (SAP) modeling, amidst the arena of deforestation and encroachment of new cultivable land, impact of pandemic on sustainable agriculture, using wastewater as non-sustainable agricultural practice, applying geospatial techniques on extreme weather susceptibility and agro-production, soil erosion and poor agricultural production, questioning shifting cultivation on the issue of sustainability, meteorological drought and irrigational gaps, occupational mobility and loss of agricultural heritage, farm-excreta burning and air quality index (AQI), GI-Science and sustainable agro-management, community preparedness in food crisis management, multi-criteria hunger index (MCHI), climate change declining sustainable agro-production are worth some. Almost the entire world has recently suffered from several natural and human-induced problems, among which food crisis and unsustainable agriculture throw significant challenges to human society. Contrastingly, if modern technology and means, with advanced monitoring and calibration methodology and policy guidance, can help, it will undoubtedly reduce half of the world's problems and ensure the future survival of human society. In addition, this approach also can minimize the other partially linked problems, like climate change and food shortage, livelihood crisis, environmental refugees, international trade balance, global food supply chain interruption, the ever-expanding gap between rich and poor, and so on. Therefore, properly nurturing the knowledge on the application of GI-Science for an agriculturally sustainable society and their monitoring and management can curtail the gap between science, policy, and the ground-level scenario concerned.
