Engineering and Environment,
Role of ICT in Environment Conservation:
Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) has changed the
way we approach environmental
challenges. From limiting
pollution levels to optimizing
resource usage, ICT tools and
solutions are playing a vital role in
protecting our planet .
Green Technologies,
Innovations for Sustainability:
The green technologies
are manmade
innovations which serve
as an alternative source
of energy instead of
classic ways which tend
to damage the
environment
1.Renewable Energy Sources:
The renewable energy
sources like solar, wind,
and hydro power has
reduced dependance on
fossil fuels.
Working of hydro power plant:
2,Sustainable Materials:
Biodegradable materials and
recycled plastics have reduced
waste and pollution and its our
duty to use only recyclable plastics
and if possible we must use only
biodegradable materials.only
codes 1,2,3,4,5 plastics are
recyclable.
Numbers behind plastics:
3,Energy Efficiency:
Smart buildings, appliances, and
transportation systems like electric
vehicles,hybrid vehicles,metros,are
reducing energy consumption.
4,Green Building Practices:
Sustainable design
and construction
techniques minimize
environmental impact
caused by different
types of pollutions.
Artificial Intelligence and
Environmental Conservation
AI in present era became a
problem solver in almost all
works and here the usage of AI
in field of environmental
conservation
1,Predictive Modelling:
AI algorithms can predict environmental
changes, such as forest fires, floods, and
pollution levels, enabling timely
interventions.In next page we will see
how predictive modelling work.
2, Smart Agriculture:
AI-powered systems
have ability to
optimize crop yields,
water usage, and
resource allocation in
agriculture on time.
3,Environmental Monitoring:
AI-enabled sensors and
drones monitor air,
water, and soil quality in
real-time, provide
actionable instructions.
Internet of Things (IoT) and
Environment:
1,Data Collection: 3,performing action:
IoT sensors collect real-time We or AI can assign works
data on air quality, water according to data collected
pollution, and climate by sensor.
conditions.
2,Data Analysis:
Data is analyzed to identify
patterns, trends, and
potential risks.
Data Science
for Environmental Protection:
Data Analysis:
Identify trends, patterns, and anomalies in environmental data.
Predictive Modelling:
Forecast environmental changes and predict risks.
Optimization:
Optimize resource management, energy consumption, and
waste reduction strategies.
E-Waste: Types
Types of E-Waste
E-waste includes discarded
computers, mobile phones,
televisions, and other electronic
devices.
E-Waste:Causes
Rapid technological
advancements and
increasing consumer
demand drive e-waste
generation.
E-Waste:Challenges
E-waste contains
hazardous materials
that pose risks to
human health and the
environment if not
managed properly.
E-Waste Management: Techniques and
Best Practices:
1,Collecting and Sorting:
Collecting and sorting e-waste based
on material composition is crucial for
efficient recycling.
E-Waste Management: Techniques and
Best Practices:
2,Treatment and Recycling:
Extracting valuable materials from
e-waste through special processes
which reduces environmental
impact.
E-Waste Management: Techniques and
Best Practices:
3,Disposal:
Proper disposal of non-
recyclable e-waste
minimizes
environmental harm.
Smart Air Quality Monitoring in Delhi, India
Case:
Atmospheric pollution caused by
industrial emissions, car exhaust,
and dust has been a bad problem for
Delhi,India.
Engineering Solution:
The government, in
collaboration with tech
companies, deployed a network
of IoT-based air quality
monitoring sensors across the
city. These sensors collect real-
time data on pollutants such as
PM2.5, PM10, CO2, and NOx.
Data Science Application:
The collected data is analyzed using machine
learning algorithms to identify pollution
hotspots and trends. Predictive analytics help
forecast air quality and inform citizens about
pollution levels through a mobile app.
Outcome:
The initiative has increased public awareness
in air quality issues, enabling citizens to
make well reasoned decisions. The data has
also aided policymakers in implementing
targeted problems, such as traffic regulation
and emission control measures.
Case Study 3: AI-Enhanced Waste
Management in Barcelona, Spain:
Case:
Urban areas often face challenges with waste
management, leading to pollution and resource
wastage.
Engineering solution:
Barcelona implemented a smart waste
management system using AI Enabled
IoT sensors to monitor waste bin levels
and types of waste.
Data Science Application:
AI algorithms analyze the data to optimize
collection routes and schedules. They also use
image recognition to identify the composition of
waste, improving recycling efforts and reducing
contamination.
Outcome:
The system has led to a 20% reduction in waste collection
costs and increased recycling rates by ensuring that the
right types of waste are processed appropriately. The city's
overall waste management efficiency has improved,
contributing to a cleaner urban environment.
Conclusion:
Summing technologies, AI,
and data science, we can
create a sustainable future
for generations to come.
