Phase 3: Measuring the Baseline Conditions
9 Purpose
p of EIA is to p
predict the impact
p with p
project
j and thus it
is important to know the condition without the project i.e.
Baseline

Phase 3: Establishing the Approaches for Prediction
of Impacts
1. Case Studies
Potential:
{ Can guide to establish an approach
{ Can
C provideid the
th insight
i i ht into
i t the
th applicable
li bl methods
th d already
l d in i practice
ti
Limitations:
{ Availability Limited
{ Even
E if credibility
dibilit is
i in
i from
f off approval,
l it may nott be
b taken
t k as only
l
method.
{ Areas Specific in nature
{ Also, several un-measurable factors may differ.
2. Models
Potential Strengths:
{ Increased level of Computational capabilities, GIS, SPSS etc.
{ Better accuracy
Limitation:
{ Too mathematical; difficult to understand by regulators, general public
and few other stake holder.
holder
{ Better accuracy demand a large input dataset, which is difficult to collect
and compile in required input format/structure
Phase 3: Establishing the Approaches for Prediction
of Impacts
3. Laboratory studies
Potential:
{ Extremely helpful to understand the reactions and process likely
to take place in case of factual project
Limitations:
{ As the scale changes from laboratory to actual field, the whole
process may change
Potential:
{ Incorporating the complex natural process happening
simultaneously and observing the behaviors of environmental
Component.
Limitations:
{ It is only indicative and carry limitations same way as in case
of laboratory experiments.
