Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is defined as the measure of our activities as they affect our physical environment, habitats, flora and fauna, people and community and environmental quality.It is an assessment of the possible impact—positive or negative—that a proposed project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects.
Environment is the external factors in which human beings live in. The environment is made up of biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors include air, water, land,buildings etc while biotic factors include plants,trees, animals etc.
EIA is the measure of both beneficial and adverse effects of our activities on the environment.
Beneficial effects are not quite much, it includes
-generation of employment to the local people
-recovery of resources
-improves efficiency of the company


The adverse effect is what we deal with in EIA.It is to be reduced to the bearest minimum.We then introduce Environmental Management Plan in order to reduce the adverse effect and propose mitigation measures.
