SA Waterbulletin May 1994

Abstract

September 1994 The theme has been chosen to reflect the role that Integrated Environmental Management and Impact Assessments can, and should play in the reconstruction and development of South Africa. Key speakers will address different aspects of these topics. In addition, people are invited to share their experience of impact assessments - from whatever perspective, be it as a practitioner, a developer, an authority, the media, a non-governmental organisation or as an affected party or community. A number of interactive and paper presentation sessions are being planned. Case studies will be discussed - including the E.I.A. for RBM's St Lucia proposal (with many of the key figures present) - so that lessons can be drawn and used in future impact assessments. Persons interested in presenting a paper at the conference are invited to submit an abstract to the address below. Topics for papers could include: the role of NGO's in E.I.A., a comparison between I.E.M. and E.M.P.R., social impact assessments, technology used in E.I.A., environmental law or economics, etc.
