  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intelligence Systems in Environmental Management: Theory and Applications

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 113))

Abstract

Environmental management is a popular interdisciplinary field which covers all the activities that have a direct or indirect impact on the environment. With the increased concerns on environmental sustainability it becomes one of the most considered issues both by the governments and industries. This chapter introduces the main concepts of environmental management and the intelligent techniques which are used to model and solve environmental management issues. Future trends on environmental management are also examined in the chapter.
