Engineering geology as s basis for environmental management and protection of the geological environment

Abstract

Modern engineering Geology, as a science that studies the geological environment, is of great importance for the justification of environmental management. Nature management involves the regulation of human activities to engage in the consumption of natural resources: land, forests, minerals, water and other objects. Nature management is contradictory: creating and consuming, it often violates the natural balance and causes the development of man-made geological processes and phenomena that change, destroy and pollute the geological environment. These changes lead to the depletion or even to the complete degradation of the existing biocenoses in a particular territory, deterioration of the quality of the environment. All this has a negative impact on the quality of life. Therefore, any activity in the field of environmental management, ecology and protection of the geological environment should be based on the study of specific engineering-geological conditions of a territory, and therefore be based on the laws and basic provisions of engineering Geology
