Introduction:
Sustainability emphasizes fulfilling the requirements and necessities of today along with not
adjusting and avoiding the shortage of facilities for the upcoming compeers to encounter their
requirements. There are fundamentally three props of such term as described as:

 Monetary or financial
 eco-friendly
 and societal—

similarly, they can be recognized familiarly as returns, globe, and individuals.

Financial sustainability:
It is the aptitude of individual management to endure it this time as well as for forthcoming
techniques not triggering the obligation to be enlarged incessantly.

Eco-friendly sustainability:
It is about soothing the presently unruly affiliation among the terrain's double utmost
composite schemes: humanoid philosophy and the existing flora and fauna.

Societal sustainability:
It is an effective method of handling and pointing out the influences on staff and hires in the
command. Various companies need to build a healthy relationship with their employees.
[ CITATION MIT20 \l 1033 ]

For an engineer, this is the system that either remains the same or changes very slowly. It is
the protection of our environment from the diverse disgraceful impacts of our daily life
routines. As humans or engineers or we need to follow some closed-loop cycle process to
maintain the sustainability of our environmental assets during the lifeline. It is an important
parameter for a person’s life to maintain its living standard for themselves and the upcoming
future generations.

Technologies for maintaining such development :

There are a lot of strategies for sustainably maintaining the developments in many different
ways as an engineer or as a responsible citizen whatever seems to implacable, every esteem
seems for

3
Availability or admittance to common people for hygienic and drinkable water whose
consumption will not lead to any damage to anyone’s health. Such pure and usable water
can be achieved by using well-known technologies of the time such as decontamination,
spring-cleaning, filtration, and purifying technologies.
Producing clean or usable water is not only enough for maintaining such healthy
environmental growth or sustainability growth for a longer time along with production we
need to have a proper system of delivering such facility to the consumer with greater
efficacy and productivity. It means technology for delivering the facility to hires is also
an important parameter for our societal growth.
Production of energy through the means or techniques that are unfavorable for a healthy
environment or that cause damage to sustainability are major reasons for causing
instability to our climate and our heritage. So better techniques such as through water or
some recyclable material, or wind except or producing it through burning a large amount
of coal that emits a huge amount of hazardous elements to the atmosphere. So, shifting
towards better and efficient technologies for the production of green and environment-
friendly energy will lead us towards a better and sustainable society.
Effective and productive technologies that can be used to manage the natural and God-
gifted resources obtained from any part of the world. Many big companies in the world
just aim to achieve or obtain such fruitful and beneficial resources and processions only
for increasing their capital without identifying the extent of hazard that they possess with
their technologies to the environment. They need to modify their methods of extractions
or any chemical process that is societal friendly or may decrease the use or emission of
the hazardous chemical during their process.
Abrupt or unexpected changes in our climate usually leading us backward in the reign of
poor management or the atmosphere that is full of harmful emissions. To stop this heath
affecting climate changes, one must use such progressive and eco-friendly technologies
for the development of any energy or controlling the emissions of such dangerous
elements such as Carbon Monoxide or other carbonated chemicals that are dangerous for
both human health as well as for a healthier environment. Using such technologies will
lead us to a world or society where such instant changes in weather or climate will not
occur and we all will live in a better society.
In our community, or we can say the in the world the waste or outcome coming from the
factories or big industries is neither good for human health nor the surrounding
environment. Such chemicals coming from such industries or fields having dangerous
4
 contaminants in their basic raw or initial materials should be replaced with the use of such
materials that are friendly and helpful for both the human and surrounding area’s
healthier growth. It means new technologies should be used in every field either to
produce new and health beneficial alternatives to such hazardous material or to control
the emissions or production of such chemical or dangerous substances that may cause any
kind of damage to our environment.
Utilization or use of modern technologies such as GIS to replace old and hectic
technologies that are not beneficial or fruitful for our development in planning for the
utilization of various facilities.
Having technologies is not enough for healthy and sustainable development, we must
have a proper monitoring system as well that could govern the performance of these
facilities and govern them in the right way. Without monitoring and proper governance,
no kind of facility will be useful in the long term.
As an engineer, proper management and better utilization of available resources and
finding the best and eco-friendly techniques such as the use of recycling material, proper
management for disposing of the waste whether it is a solid or liquid waste. Proper waste
management and again making some suitable alternatives for managing the landfills.
Cement production is causing hazardous damage to our environment as its burning emits
a huge amount of Cos into the atmosphere causing global warming. Moreover, cement is
one of the highly utilized construction material that is used worldwide. To decrease such
effects on the environment one must look forward to finding some new environmentally
friendly material in this field. As we know the construction industry is one of the biggest
chloroform carbon production causes of the world in recent times.
Finding the best alternative for daily usage materials such as glass and plastics for use in
the markets or shopping places with some recyclable materials or successfully disposing
of such harmful and hazardous materials.[ CITATION Eli14 \l 1033 ]

Application of Technologies

waste management:
waste management is one of the most important technique to be used to develop a world
which frees from all toxic and unhealthy attributes that will lead us towards greener
industrialization and production. Waste is basically of two types one may be in the form of

5
liquid waste and another waste type is solid waste and we need to manage both of these types
separately.

Firstly, we will discuss the management of liquid waste. Such kind of wastes contains a
highly toxic form of chemical coming from industries and is dangerous for human health if it
is allowed to enter the surrounding environment without the treatment. So to develop a
sustainable and healthy environment, it is important to develop a system to treat wastewater
coming from households or industrial locations efficiently. Such treated water can be further
utilized for drinking and agricultural purpose that will further make this environment a better
place to be in. the system is shown below.

Figure 1- waste management

After that solid waste management is an important technique to be used these days. One of
the major concerns that will come in our mind whenever we will think about a healthy and
prosperous environment the first thing that will come in our mind is managing or getting the
way of efficiently disposing of such hazardous solid waste. All over the world, there are
majorly two techniques that can be used for getting rid of such wastes are described as

 Burning the waste material, but will emit some health hazards chemicals to the
environment causing an increase in pollution weather on the other hand for a huge
amount of solid waste is produced every day and every second is hard to place at
someplace as we will need a huge place for such purpose which seems to a practically
inapplicable option. But as an engineer for our better community, we may decide to burn
them and at the same time using such materials for energy production. In this way, we can
reduce the consumption of coal products causing so much damage to our protective ozone
layer. It will a grateful act of utilizing your waste materials in an efficient way to most of
our benefits as it requires getting rid of such waste material while getting the benefit of
energy production at a lower cost with greater efficiency and in this way, we can get to
better and supportable development.
 Another way of utilizing such solid waste material is recycling and use of such recyclable
material in our daily life. By using recyclable materials instead of using hazardous and
health dangerous materials for our routine work. It will have a great positive effect on our
daily life pattern will make this world justifiable and a place where waste production is
not a problem. Such materials will be used farther times as a better option even one thing
can be used for many other objectives. Recycling of material is one of the major points of
search in this world. For example, in the construction industry, industries have shown a
great interest in using recycled and waste aggregated and raw materials for construction
purposes which have few economical as well as strong benefits as well. [ CITATION acc14 \l
1033 ]

Technologies in the energy sector:
The energy sector is one of the major fuel user industries in the world by the production of
thermal energy. As we know, to produce energy by thermal requires a huge amount of fossils
and fuel to be burnt which will have a lot of emissions that are unfavorable for our healthy
environment. We should move towards greener energy production in this era for our
betterment. The best option in this regard is now three of them such as hydel power
production, and wind energy production and solar energy production are the best available
option for our best. The use of fossil fuels has
always lead to the effect of the supportability
of the environment. We can install large
turbines to produce energy that can efficiently
fulfill our requirements. Wind can be
used as a beneficial source for the production of
electricity as it requires lesser investment
and it does not produce any kind of
harmful waste or pollutant for energy production that can eventually affect our globalization .[

Sustainability by proper usage of Water:

Proper management can lead us to a position where we can use our resources well and
efficiently. One of the major techniques that can be very efficient in managing the use of
water in our daily life. It is not about changing your approach it is about making a change in
our daily life routine or lifestyle. There are many ways by which we can reduce our daily
usage or wastage of water and produce a better and hygienic environment. A few of them are
listed below.

Do not open the tab of water when nobody is using it.

Do not waste water by pouring more or wasting more water in the bathroom.

8
 Make lesser use of water while washing or laundering.
find the leakage of water through pipes due to any reason.\
use of such devices that can be used for saving the water.
Avoiding loss of water in irrigation fields.

Conclusion:
Such development is an idea or need of the people living in this world to move towards a
world of better economic growth, healthy globalization, and industrialization towards a
greener production. It involves every single stakeholder living in this world irrespective of
the nation or the country. We must take steps to stabilize our environment by changing our
so-called luxury lifestyles towards a healthy routine life for a better future by adopting the
strategies decreasing the use of fuel for fulfilling the needs of our energy as moving towards
making our priority of choosing the better and renewable energy resource for this purpose
such as wind turbine installation. Use of energy present in the sunlight as solar by making
solar panels and fulfilling our requirement through such a valuable resource to make this
world a better place to live. Effective management of our fruitful resources will lead us to a
better and stable economic condition. By not wasting water we can also reduce the
production of waste material up to some extent. The utilization of recyclable material is
another important parameter for our sustainability. Using recyclable and eco-friendly
materials for construction can also lead us to a healthier environment. For example, the use of
waste materials such as silica fume, fly ash is increasing day by day to make the construction
industry move toward greener production. This will create equal opportunities without any
gender discrimination which will lead us to social sustainability.[ CITATION Wor18 \l 1033 ]
