An inter-disciplinary approach to performing an effective Environmental Impact assessment, Environmental Impact Assessment: Theory and Practice describes the various pieces of knowledge necessary to speak the language of EIA as well as carry out EIAs focusing on a variety of environmental issues including impacts on environmental components like air, water, soils, land, noise, and biological environment in a systematic manner. Organized into 15 chapters covering most of the aspects of EIA, Environmental Impact Assessment: Theory and Practice provides engineers with the tools and methods to conduct an effective assess including report preparations and design measures or other relevant mitigation measures can be taken to reduce or avoid those effects. Case Studies are presented to provide guidance can better understand, plan and prepare environmental impact assessments. Presents detailed methodologies for air pollution control, waste treatment schemes, phytoremediation, bioremediation, hazardous waste, green belt development, and rain water harvestingHighlights the concepts and some important definitions of EIA as well as the planning and management of EIA study along with the composition of EIA teamDiscusses the impacts on valued environmental components like air, water, soils, land, noise, biological environment and socio economic environment in a systematic manner INDICE: 1.
