Considering the scenario provided below, student shall prepare an individual report as per thereport sections mentioned below.
Oman Vision 2040 is built around four main pillars. One of the major pillars is Environment inline with Environment and Natural Resources. Effective and balanced environmental ecosystemsand models will help to support the well-being system in general, protect the environment andensure the quality and good productivity of environmental ecosystems. The preservation of suchecosystems will help to reduce the economic cost of waste, degradation, or loss of resources.Similarly, the optimal use and sustainability of natural resources are necessary to support theeconomy and stimulate production. The future strategy in natural resource management willfocus on developing non-traditional sources of natural resources, such as the use of renewableenergy to reduce production cost and subsequently enhance the competitiveness of economicsectors. New infrastructure projects will be geared towards green economy, green strategies andrenewable energy production. This approach should take place in such a manner as to promoteenvironmental sustainability, achieve stability, reduce the constraints and pressures of financialmanagement, and replenish the treasury with revenues from non-traditional natural resources.
Environmental protection is under the governance of Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairsin Sultanate of Oman.The student has to visit any organisation in the Sultanate of Oman, who are dealing withEnvironment Design, Waste Management, Wastewater services etc. Student has to organise a isit and consult environmental engineers and other related authorities to understand and explore principles underlying environmental engineering design.
