Environmental Impact Assessment

Course Aim:

To provide the students with a comprehensive approach to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process so that they can conduct an EIA process effectively and develop an EIA report. 

Intended Learning Outcomes:

At the completion of this course, the student will be able to: 

LO1 Identify the significant impacts likely to arise due to a developmental project 

LO2 Analyze different alternatives for a part/the whole of a developmental project 

LO3 Propose suitable mitigatory measures for significant impacts identified

LO4 Develop an ‘Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan’ 

LO5 Prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report for a developmental project

Course Outline:  

Introduction; Planning and management of impacts studies and Methods for impacts identification, Affected environment (Description of environmental setting); Prediction and assessment of impacts; Decision making tools; Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP); Preparation of written documents; EIA Case studies

Water Pollution and Advanced Control Technologies

Objectives: 

1.  To equip students with knowledge and skills to recognize and manage environmental health risks pertaining to the water quality.

 2.  To introduce advanced wastewater treatment technologies as a mechanism to remove specific contaminants of concern in order to control water pollution.

3.  To focus on technologies for reclaiming the treated effluent aiming at different reuse applications to control water pollution.

 Learning Outcomes:

 At the end of this module, the student should be able

1.  to differentiate between the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of water in relation to natural water sources, drinking water purification and waste water treatment,

2.  to identify how water chemistry is important for the environment and health,

3.  to identify, assess, control and review water pollution sources and their impact on the environment and human,

4.  to apply and design suitable advanced treatment techniques to treat different constituents found in wastewater, and

5.  to develop appropriate treatment trains to reclaim secondary treated effluent for different applications.
