Predictive Techniques in Environmental Eco-Audits

Article Preview

Abstract:

Predictive Technique Audits, one of the types of environmental audit, is considered to have greatest potential role in strengthening the Environmental Impact Assessment practice in India. Many predictive techniques which rely upon the use of mathematical or computer models have also been subject to an audit. There is a need for strengthening the understanding on which environmental attributes can be predicted in a quantified manner, and which predictive techniques may be applied to provide predictions within an acceptable range of error, recognizing that this will be influenced by the significance of the attribute under consideration. With this backdrop, the present paper outlines the concepts of predictive techniques in Environmental Eco-Audits.
