SOME THEORETICAL ISSUES OF MODERN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
The new scientific direction "nature management" requires the development of various aspects of theory and practice. The article considers some theoretical questions. It is noted that based on the experience of the last decades, the range of objects of nature management has significantly expanded. Traditional directions in the regulation of relations "nature-man" added new rapidly developing areas of human activity. These are "engineering protection of territories" and "protection and restoration of water objects". The main objects of nature management are lands, waters of different Genesis, water objects and artificial landscapes. When designing objects of environmental engineering and development of technological scheme should take into account the different nature of their key components; multi-scale loop components and elements of environmental engineering. It is especially important to consider the energy of each component. For example, entropy in living and inert elements of natural objects, which differently determines their life cycle.
