Editorial: future of environmental engineering

Article Abstract:

An editorial on the future of environmental engineering has stressed the maturity of the field as shown by the complexity of the technical and scientific issues being confronted. The editorial has also cited the need for a single organization that can represent the various disciplines related to environmental engineering. This organization must be headed by people who are not only technically competent, but also adept in the social and political fields.
