ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Task 6: Environmental and social impact assessment
A construction and management of water reservoir requires various activities and
operations to ensure that the water reservoir functions properly and negative effects are reduced
largely. The construction activities include manufacturing of equipments and machineries,
preparation of site, management of civil works and finishing the activities by assembling the
mechanical and electrical components to meet the requirements of the system effectively. Due to
the construction activities, both social and environmental impacts are created and even during the
management of a water storage reservoir (Dixon et al., 2013).
Few social and environmental impacts include high production of waste materials from
the construction site, cutting of trees, polluting the water, creating lots of noise, cultural heritage
of the place near to the construction site or water storage reservoir, crushing and
homogenization, transportation of raw materials and resources, etc. All these activities could
result in harming the ecological balance in nature as well as create pollution that can result in
making an unhealthy environment where people would have to live in the future. On the other
hand, the water storage reservoir has created some good social and environmental impacts such
as management of biodiversity, control of pollution, managing safety of dam, empowerment,
reduction of poverty and even maintain good values to preserve the cultural diversity of the place
too (Haddeland et al., 2014).
