Abstract - The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

implemented. EIA encourages the adaptation of mitigation strategies in the developmental plan. EIA makes sure that the developmental plan is environmentally sound and within the limits of the capacity of assimilation and regeneration of the ecosystem.

is a tool with the aim to identify, predict, evaluate, and prevent or, if necessary, correct and communicate the impacts of a project on the environment. The EIA is regulated by the environmental laws of each country, where commonly an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required to obtain an environmental license. Colombian legislation, as in several other countries, does not determine what EIA methodology is used (rather it is limited to suggesting a few parameters). Ultimately, the decision is left to the work group responsible for developing the EIS. For this reason, many methodologies and variants are created, thereby affecting the process quality. It was determined that the best option is to adjust an already established methodology, taking advantage of its experience.

1.1. IMPORTANCE OF EIA EIA is a process of measuring and evaluating the impact of any proposed project and development on the environment, including the benefits. Through environment impact assessments, project managers know which projects need full screening to prevent any damage to the environment. Helps to assess potential impacts relevant to the environmental legislation based on the legislative requirements. Identifies problems and helps through the mitigation process in advance to anticipate disasters likely to happen. Protects the biodiversity environment by suggesting alternative safe project designs and methods.

INTRODUCTION

1.2 Water Quality Test.

This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to provide information on the potential positive and negative environmental and social impacts of the project. It also aims to make recommendations for the mitigation of the potential negative impacts and enhancement of the positive ones. A field survey of the project site was conducted and potential environmental impacts of project activities were identified, assessed, and documented. The EIA team carried out consultation with local authorities and the affected people. The Environmental Protection Act (1986) policies have been considered during the assessment. The EIA has been proposed according to the EIA format regarding the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change. Importance of EIA links environment with development for environmentally safe and sustainable development. EIA provides a cost effective method to eliminate or minimize the adverse impact of developmental projects. EIA enables the decision makers to analyze the effect of developmental activities on the environment well before the developmental project is

A Water Quality Impact Assessment (WQIA) is an analysis of the impacts on water quality when a project is proposed within a Resource Protection Area (RPA).Water Impact is assessed on the basis of its quantity, its quality and its stake holders. Assessing impact of water quantity will involve looking at the project as part of the local water cycle, how will the development add or subtract from that equation. benefits of environmental impact assessment. It’s done by taking into consideration the social, economic, cultural, and human-based health risks and benefits.
