The purpose of this book is to analyze, with actual examples,
different techniques that have been developed to tackle the complex
task of making an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of a
project. A project may influence the lives of many people, can
change the physical environment temporarily or forever, and creates
benefits or losses, not only for the people who promoted it, but
also for those not related whatsoever with the project. Thus, its
assessment is not only a commercial evaluation of gains and losses,
but it goes far beyond that, for it also has to appraise: how
people's way of life will be affected; how significant the
alteration produced in the social fabric will be; what the result
will be of using certain renewable and non-renewable resources; how
much the expected economic development will cost in terms of loss
of resources sustainability; how to measure what is not easily
measurable: enjoying a sunset, a stroll in a tropical forest, etc.
