About the Book

A concise guide which focuses on the environmental impact of development projects. It aims to teach the knowledge, skills, approach and best practice necessary if environmental assessment is to be integrated into all development projects. The book recognizes the diversity of environmental problems from country to country. It identifies five areas which managers and planners should pay attention to: natural habitat destruction; land degradation; the depletion and degradation of fresh water resources; agricultural, industrial and urban pollution; and the degradation of "global commons". The volume looks at a number of development projects, and analyzes their environmental impact in order to generate a checklist of potential impacts which all planners and managers can use. The book also features case studies, provides economic analysis of environmental impacts, and discusses environmental auditing.
