ABSTRACT:
Technological and engineering vision globally today are in the path of newer scientific divination and scientific stewardship. Civilization and engineering science today stands in the middle of an immense scientific conundrum. Sustainable water management and sustainability are the immediate needs of the hour. United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are at the pinnacle of scientific and technological glory. This treatise deeply elucidates the immediate needs of global environmental management and sustainable development. Nanotechnology is a revolutionary area of science and technology. Sustainability and environmental engineering needs to be intertwined with each other. Civilization and human scientific endeavor needs to move forward towards Fourth Industrial Revolutionary and Internet 4.0. Civilization stands tall and affirmative in the midst of scientific and engineering intricasies of integrated water resource management. Public health engineering and sustainable development are the other pivots of this comprehensive treatise. Surely and veritably a newer dawn of human civilization and human life will evolve when scientists, engineers and policymakers across the world takes concerted efforts towards proper implementation of zero carbon economy and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
