3. Module 1 : Ecosystems
Meaning of Environment
➢ The word ‘environment’ is derived from the French word ‘environner’, which means
‘to encircle’ or ‘to surround’.
Definition of Environment
❖ It is the sum of total of water, air & land and the interrelationships that exist among
them with human beings, other living organisms and materials
Continuation……
Definition of Environment
❖ All the factors such as physical, geographical, chemical, biological and ecological
which affects human life and its existence on this planet
The environment includes earth, lakes, forests, farms, vegetation & other biological life
such as animals, plants, bacteria and micro-organisms etc.
Components of Environment 1) Biotic environment
2) Abiotic environment
Continuation……
Definition of Environmental Studies
❖ Environmental studies is a multidisciplinary academic field which systematically
studies human interaction with the environment
Scope of Environmental Studies
➢ Creates awareness among the people about renewable and non-renewable
resources
➢ Provides the knowledge about ecological systems
➢ Provides information about biodiversity richness
➢ Helps to evaluate alternative responses to environmental issues
➢ Exposes the problems of over population, health, hygiene etc
➢ Exposes the role of arts, science & Technology in eliminating / minimizing the evils
form the society
➢ Enables theoretical knowledge into practical
Continuation……
Definition of Environmental Engineering
❖ It is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the natural
environment (air, water and land resources)
Scope of Environmental Studies
➢ To provide healthy water, air and land for human habitation & other organisms
➢ To remediate polluted sites
➢ It involves waste water treatment, air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal,
radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability and public
health issues
➢ It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction
projects
