PREDICTION AND ASSESSMENT
OF IMPACT ON WATER, AIR AND
NOISES
EIA on surface water environment
STEP 1: Identification of Surface Water Quantity and Quality Impacts
1. The type of project and how it functions or operate
2. The proposed location of project
3. The time period required for project construction
4. The potential environmental outputs from the project during its operational
phase.
STEP 2: Description of Existing Surface Water Resource Conditions
STEP 3: Procurement of relevant surface water quantity and quality standards
STEP 4: Impact prediction
STEP 5: Interpretation of Impact Significance
STEP 6: Identification and Incorporation of Mitigation measures
Environmental Effects on Surface Water
1. Shoreline: The project development in the vicinity of shoreline may
affect the special economic, ecological, aesthetic and recreational
uses.
2. Bottom Interface: The disturbance may cause shoreline erosion,
create turbidity and destroy habitat.
3. Flow variation: flow regulations can create transport capacity and
water quality
4. Water quality: It is important for economic, ecological aesthetic and
recreational purposes.
5. Flooding
EIA on Noise Environment

Prediction and Assessment of Impact on Air
Environment
• STEP 1: Evaluation and Identification of Sources and quantity of air pollutant
emissions of different phases of the proposed activity like the construction,
operation and development
• STEP 2: Detailed evaluation of the project area for the existing ambient air quality,
emission inventory and meteorological data
• STEP 3: Procurement of relevant air pollutant emission standards and guidelines
• STEP 4: Impact prediction
• STEP 5: carrying out impact assessment studies adopting mass balances,
dispersion calculations, mathematical models, qualitative predictions based on
case studies and professional judgement.
• STEP 6: Assessment of significance of anticipated beneficial and detrimental
impacts.
• STEP 7: Development of appropriate mitigation measures for the adverse impacts
