Ecological engineering is the design of sustainable systems which derive their energy and materials from ecosystems. Such designs aim to integrate human society with the natural environment for the benefit of both. In this course the following topics are examined; ecologically engineered wetlands for biological and mine drainage treatment; stormwater infiltration devises; best management practices(s) for mitigating contaminated land wastes and diffuse nutrient runoff from agricultural practices.
