English Abstract
Recently, environmental sustainable development has become one of the most important challenges facing development institutions, such as World Bank.
EIA is the tool has been used by the World Bank, to minimize and mitigate any adverse environmental or social impacts in their lending and advisory activities.
Rustamia Wastewater treatment Plants (WWTP) was described as large scale projects.
Large scale WWTP related to plants served 150,000 population equivalents (PE), in accordance to World Bank guidelines : Operation Manual (OP 4.1) of 1999 and attention is required for the existing environmental problems resulting from the discharges of wastewater (treated or otherwise) on the receiving environment, Diayla River, in this case study.
Consequently an Environmental Audit followed to extent the World Bank guidelines was undertaken .A periodic environmental monitoring audit was used to evaluate and analysis the potential impacts of Rustamia discharges on the Diayla River.
The most formal evaluation method is the comparison of likely impacts against legal requirements and standards.
Water quality was monitored based on water characteristics from five selected control sites.
River monitoring was conducted based on monthly measurements of river dilution capacity and water quality parameters included : dissolved Oxygen, temperature, total fecal Coliforms, and ph.
Supplementary measurements included nutrients (ammonia and NOx nitrogen) and some heavy metals.
Impacts were identified primarily focused on remote sensing and checklist methodologies.
Remote sensing techniques were used to develop classification maps for individual water quality parameters.
Classification maps support decision makers to be more informed of the current and future river pollution, while checklists were used for air quality of nearby areas to the WWTP, and socioeconomic assessments.
