Why Environmental Engineering?
What does environmental engineering
deal with?
The contemporary world is characterized by
• High Population growth rate
• Explosive Urbanization
• Agricultural mechanization
• Industrialization
• Intensive use of non-renewable energy sources
(fossil-based energy carriers)
• Increasing production of hazardous waste
(battery, radioactive materials, electronic chips)
• Increased trans-boundary industrial goods
These characteristics entail
• Global warming
• Climate change
• Pollution of surface, ground and marine
water environments
• Air pollution
• Solid and hazardous waste
• Noise pollution
• Ozone depletion
• Eutrophication of lakes
• Acid rain
Environmental engineering

Design and implement systems that will maximize


1 the efficient use of ecological resources.

Design and implement pollution control and


2 rehabilitation technologies for the polluted
ecological components

Propose an appropriate perspective for future


3 industrialization processes and renewable energy
technologies
In Ethiopian context, the
emphasis is evident from
• Green economic policy (CRGE)
• Ministry of environment, forest and CC
• Regional bureaus and agencies
• Sectoral environmental units
• Installation of Environmental directorates in
Industry-related government organizations
(e.g. LIDI)
• The enact of environmental regulations as of
January 1, 2015 in all manufacturing sector
Environmental Engineering is the urgent
call to save the deteriorating earth!
