Abstract This chapter presents the technical terms and acronym terms in the wide
academic areas of environmental engineering and natural resources management.
The authors have tried their best to selectively cover the subject areas in the
Handbook of Environmental Engineering (HEE), Volume 19 (Environmental and
Natural Resources Engineering), Volume 20 (Integrated Natural Resources Management), Volume 21 (Environmental Flotation Engineering), and Volume 22 (Integrated Natural Resources Research).
