2. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id Environmental Engineering is a branch of engineering that was developed to overcome serious environmental contamination problems caused by human activities and the waste they produce.  the integration of sciences and engineering principles to develop processes that will improve the environment. Environmental engineering is a fairly new science, but it is developing very rapidly and expertise in this science is needed now and in the future.

3. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id Pollution can be caused by various sources . The spread of pollution can be found in soil, water and air throughout planet Earth. Air pollution, water source pollution, land pollution, hazardous waste, both solid and liquid, are found everywhere. Environmental engineering studies how to deal with pollution and manage waste to protect the environmental health of the earth and its inhabitants.

4. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id Environmental engineering is closely related to civil engineering and public health. Clean water supply and sewage systems are examples of public facilities designed by civil engineers to control environmental pollution and protect public health. Water availability is an important problem in every civilization. History and The Importance of Environmental Engineering

5. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id When water sources are polluted by pollutants, it will cause problems for the environment and public health. Example: ground water sources are contaminated by E. Coli bacteria due to poor environmental sanitation. History and The Importance of Environmental Engineering

7. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id In the 18th and 19th centuries, poor residents in European cities were unable to access clean water because rivers were polluted, clean water was expensive, or there were no water sources. In London, at that time many poor people begged for water or even stole water. At that time there were also many disease outbreaks. History and The Importance of Environmental Engineering

8. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id Water filtration technology began to be used around the 19th century. The first successful use of water filtration technology was recorded in Parsley, Scotland in 1804. The use of chlorine as a disinfectant in water was first carried out in Belgium in 1902 and in America in 1908. Between 1900 – 1920, deaths from infectious diseases decreased drastically, and is believed to be the result of the increasingly clean water supplied to the population.

9. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id Disposal of human waste can be a serious problem for public health. In the past, many people dumped human waste directly into drainage channels or rivers. In the 19th century, the river Cam (in Cambridge) and the river Thames (in London) were heavily polluted for many years. Many residents suffer from cholera.

10. TEKNI K INDUSTRI in d u s t r i. u ms .a c . id In the 1850s, the "Great Sanitary Awakening" campaign was launched to improve environmental sanitation. Modern environmental engineering began in London in the 1940s following the Great Stink. Civil engineers are responsible for developing technical solutions to problems related to water and waste. Civil engineering engineers must understand the basic principles of ecology and ecosystems so as not to damage the environment and ecosystem. History and The Importance of Environmental Engineering
