Environmental Aspects of any Projects
Project is the series of activities and task that have specific objectives to be completed within certain specifications, have defined start and end dates, have funding limits, consume resources.
Example : Airport Construction Project
While implementation of any project various aspects of the project must be analysed and one of them is Environmental aspect.
A project may cause environmental pollution in various ways
1. It may throw gaseous emissions
2.It may produce liquid and solid discharges
3.It may cause noise, heat and vibrations
Hence, environmental aspects of the project have to be examined particularly for major projects which have significant ecological implications (like power projects, irrigation projects, environment-polluting industries like brick, drug, chemical, leather processing industries)
Key issues that need to be considered in this respect are:
1. What is the likely damage caused by the project to the environment?
2. What is the cost of restoration measures required to ensure that the damage to the
environment is contained within acceptable limits?
What happened to the Arun-III project in Nepal and Narmada project in India?
1. The environmental activists opposed the execution of the project work anticipating the
environmental hazard it would have brought in the locality
2. Local people protested against the implementation of the project.
Similarly outer ring road project in Kathmandu valley, Nepal was not implemented due to the barrier posed by environmentalist, debate in Nijgadh International Airport is very high because thousands of trees will be vanish if it is implemented.
Therefore, while preparing a project one should clear that it will not damage the environmental amenity.
If it creates any hazard to the environment there should be provision for mitigating the hazards and compensation to the looser.
A project should be environmentally friendly.
Environment Impact Assessment ( EIA ) is one of the very necessary step in implementation of any project. Is must be done in apporiate way to conserve environment and biodiversity.
As we all are strictly working for environment conservation, our duty is to look after many projects which may affect the environment in short term and long term.
Thank You.

Hello Deepak bro
I do hope that you are fine and doing great with your works. Thank you for your report about Environmental Aspects of Project Preparation. Project Planning is a very important process before the implementation of the project and Planning of Project, EIA has been a mandatory process which is for the Environmental Impact Assessment. A project is never verified until the EIA process occurs. Thank you for writing a important part of project development and environment.
Green Cheers from Nepal :)
Keep writing great reports.
We are eager to read more reports from you.

Hello Deepak!
Thank you for your wonderful report. You gave the examples in detail how a social project can affect environments and how we should take care of it when planning. When constructing governmental buildings or implementing social compaigns, they often bring unintended consequences. And the nature has usually been the victims. Thank you for pointing out how we should predict any project??s possible impact on environments. I??m looking forward to reading your next article.

Hi Deepak!
Projects based on direct stimulation of the environment that pose a great problem not just for the environment but for all the communities involved.
I commend acting activists and community members for halting the outer ring road project. Because if officials in high up ranks are not prepared to see their impacts to the environment. Then we should show them
Thank you so much for reporting Deepak! I look forward to your next report!
Take care now :)
