Environmental Impact Assessment
Environmental Impact Assessment is the process of determining how a project or development would likely affect the environment while taking into consideration related socioeconomic, cultural, and positive and negative effects on human health. An environmental, economic, and social impact assessment (EIA) is a tool used to evaluate a project’s potential benefits and drawbacks. This is used to forecast a project’s environmental effects at the pre-planning phase so that actions can be taken to lessen the negative effects.
