ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT A REVIEW

Sunil Kumar Singh A, Lopita Pal, Madha Suresh V

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as the word suggests, is a process that has to be carried out before any project or major activity is carried out in order ensure that it will not in any way harm the environment on a short term and long term basis (Wathern, 1988; Aruna Murthy et al., 2005). The main purpose of the EIA process was to identify and evaluate the potential benefits and adverse impacts of projects on the environment, taking in account the environmental, social, cultural and aesthetic aspects. All these aspects are considered critical, while determining the viability of the project. The EIA also looks into the impact the project will have on the people, their homeland, livelihood and other development activities (Murthy and Patra, 2005). The EIA also suggests measures to minimize the impacts and suggest ways to improve the project viability. The ultimate aim of EIA is to ensure that potential impacts are identified and addressed at an early stage in the project planning and design (Murthy and Patra, 2005).
