Dive into the dynamic world of environmental stewardship with "Soil, Water Pollution, and Mitigation Strategies: A Spatial Approach." This meticulously crafted volume offers a comprehensive journey through the measurement, monitoring, mapping, and modelling of soil and water pollution, coupled with innovative mitigation strategies. Discover cutting-edge techniques rooted in modern geospatial methodologies, with a sharp focus on the latest trends in data mining and robust modelling. As our planet grapples with the consequences of anthropogenic activities, such as indiscriminate chemical usage in agriculture, the need for precise quantification and risk assessment has never been more urgent. This book serves as a beacon, illuminating the path toward sustainable management of soil and water resources through the lens of geospatial technology. Explore a myriad of critical topics, including soil microbiology, salinity, pollution from industrial sources, heavy metals, and the pervasive impact of agricultural practices. Delve into environmental risk assessment, sustainable land use, and innovative remediation techniques, such as harnessing the power of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and embracing organic fertilizers.  Written for researchers, professionals, and policymakers alike, this book offers invaluable insights into the complex interplay between human activity and environmental health. Organized into two parts (I) Soil Contaminants, Risk Assessment, and Mitigation, and (II) Water Contaminants, Risk Assessment, and Mitigation—it provides a structured approach to understanding and addressing environmental challenges. Each chapter serves as a portal to a deeper understanding of the issues at hand, presenting a synthesis of current research, identifying future directions, and offering pragmatic solutions. This book promises to enrich the understanding of environmental science and empower the reader with the knowledge and skills needed to effect positive change. Designed to cater to a diverse audience—from students and researchers in environmental sciences to policymakers, NGOs, and corporate stakeholders—this book is a testament to the collaborative effort required to safeguard our planet's precious resources. This is a transformative journey toward a more sustainable future—one informed by science, guided by innovation, and driven by a shared commitment to environmental stewardship.
