It is nature's gift that helps in nourishing life on Earth. The environment plays an important role in the existence of life on the planet earth. The word Environment is derived from the French word "Environ" which means "surrounding." An ecosystem refers to all the living and non-living things present in the environment and it is a foundation of the Biosphere, which determines the health of the entire planet earth. An impact can be defined as any change in physical, chemical, biological, cultural or socio-economic environmental system as a result of activities relating to a project or adverse effects caused by industrial, infrastructural projects or by the release of a substance into the environment.
