The document presents an environmental management plan for a project to construct a new water intake on the Indus River. It discusses (1) the objectives and roles of the environmental management plan, including mitigation measures, monitoring, and training; (2) the roles and responsibilities of different parties involved in the project; (3) the mitigation and monitoring plans; and (4) highlights that the project area is environmentally sensitive due to the presence of Indus dolphins, and outlines mitigation measures to minimize impacts on dolphins during construction and operation.
EIA is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse.
EIA 1994 and the further amendments are explained i.e. 2006 and 2020.

Orange line train project impact in environmental pollutionShahzaib Khan
Lahore is the 2ND largest urban center and provincial capital of the Punjab Province with a population of 9 million inhabitants in 2006. The transport demand amounts to 6.8 million daily person trips for work, shopping or recreation other than walking.
So we expected to rise to more than 11 million by the year 2021. (LUTMP) in 2010-2011, recorded 8 million trips per day in the year 2010. The major percentage of this travel demand comprises of public transport.
To resolve public transport issues in Lahore and to provide safe, efficient, comfortable, and affordable transport to the public, Government of the Punjab has successfully completed METRO BUS project and currently planning to introduce a Metro Rail Transit System on the Orange Line (From Ali Town to Dera Gujran), Lahore.
What is Lahore Metro Train Project - Overviewuvahidy
#RastaBadlo
The current Orange Line Metro Train Project destroys the possibility of the integrated Lahore Mass Transport System as conceived in 2005-10.
Buses on grade will solve Lahore’s transport problems,. They can be supported by the revival of existing North South rails for commuter traffic. Underground trains using Tunnel Boring Machine can be an on going Long Term investment for the future.
The current plan destroys Lahore. It destroys livelihoods , homes and communities, it destroys heritage, it destroys the environment and the economy
This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

Community Based Biodiversity Conservation- Tree Planting on Deduru Oya Left BankPabasara Gunawardane
Community based biodiversity conservation is a specific branch of conservation. Regulating bodies get together with the community based organizations and perform the projects. Mainly Department of wildlife conservation, Department of forest conservation and several non-governmental organizations conduct these programs.
Deduru Oya development project is the largest irrigation project carried out in the north western province of Sri Lanka. In this project, Deduru oya environmental conservation and soil erosion prevention project was a community based tree re-planting program on the left bank of the canal. The project was organized and performed by wildlife and nature protection society (WLNPS) of Sri Lanka. Department of irrigation, School children, resident villagers and divisional secretaries were the target social groups of this project.
The project was designed and planned for 3 years. (2011- 2013) Required financial support was provided by WLNPS and the work force was provided by the school children and the irrigation department. Due to heavy drought condition which affect the plant nursery and some activities of the department of irrigations caused severe damage to the success of the project.
Lack of coordination among the participatory groups, negligence of the government institutes, lack of the experiences of the project coordinators were some of the reason s for the failure of the project.
Recruiting project coordinators with science background, having enough data on the climate and the demography of the area, Emphasizing the importance of the objectives to general public and providing more benefits to the participating communities can be indicated as recommendations for the success of these kind of community based multi stake holder projects.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

through the River bed of the Indus River to
reach the right bank of the Indus River at
Existing Intake . ( it becomes dry when gates
of Sukkur Barrage are Open )
13. Issues with Existing
Water Intake
• subject to river flooding.

habitats of Blind Indus Dolphin (Platanista minor)
with maximum population left between Guddu
and Sukkur Barrages.
• Indus Dolphin Reserve boundaries cover an
approximate area of 44,200 ha and are about
210km stretch between Guddu and Sukkur

area of Jacking ( during Construction) to avoid
any potential catch or disturbance to Indus
Dolphin around Jacked Piped area of 100 –
200 meter circle zone
30. Environmental Mitigations
Operations : Dolphin

on Dolphin-Parameters
• Disturbance to Indus Dolphin
Density/population or species diversity
• Affects Monitoring – Sindh Wild Life
Department
• Compliance Monitoring – by IMC
• Cost provided
• Partnership with SWD for Dolphin Monitoring
33. Conclusion
• All the impacts after mitigation of impacts are
insignificant, reversible and of short term
duration.
• Visible positive impact on the socio-economic
conditions of the local residents of the area.
• Dolphins will be significantly away from the
Intake area activity in medium to high floods as
observed in summer survey and potential
impacts or threat is minimum
