ECOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND RESILIENT ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS

This volume examines integrated approaches to environmental engineering and sustainable development in the context of accelerating ecological and climatic pressures. The chapters collectively emphasize the need for interdisciplinary frameworks that combine chemical, biological, ecological, technical, and socio-economic perspectives to address complex environmental challenges. Chapter 1 establishes the foundations of integrated environmental engineering, highlighting how chemical, biological, and ecological processes can be harmonized to promote sustainability. Chapter 2 explores the integration of micro hydropower into rural energy systems, analyzing technical feasibility, economic viability, and social implications to advance decentralized and inclusive energy solutions. Chapter 3 presents a systematic review of multi-functional green urban infrastructure, focusing on water and economic security in Mekong Delta cities facing drought and salinity intrusion, with adaptive policy pathways for Can Tho City. Together, these contributions offer practical and conceptual insights into resilient infrastructure, sustainable resource management, and climate-responsive governance.
