New environmental management plan reduces negative impacts on rural communities.
The environmental management plan aims to assess and reduce potential negative impacts of a project on the environment. Measures like proper drainage, road surfacing, and safety precautions will be implemented to minimize harm. Construction during the rainy season will be avoided to prevent soil erosion. Agricultural practices will be adjusted to mitigate changes in land use and chemical use. Controlling water hyacinth in wetlands will protect water quality and biodiversity. Road designs will focus on effective drainage to prevent flooding and damage to vegetation.
