dc.description.abstract | This report has been prepared in order to assess the environmental performance of the existing desalination plant and powerhouse in Medhufushi island resort for the purpose of registration of the plants according to the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency of Maldives. This report focuses only on the desalination plant and powerhouse of the resort development and associated areas of impact.
The major effects the existing plants may have on the environment include the following impacts;
‐ Impact on energy and water resources
‐ Impact on coral cover in the reef
‐ Impact on marine life in the lagoon
‐ Impact on ground water quality
‐ Impact on marine water quality
‐ Visual impacts
‐ Impact due to noise pollution
Such significant environmental issues can be resolved by implementing mitigation measures outlined in the document. The audited facility at Medhufushi Island can be regarded as being in compliance, despite few issues that require mitigation. The plant site is among the better sites observed in the Maldives. There were minimum leaks and maintenance had been undertaken on a regular basis, while appropriate safety measures were also taken. General operations and maintenance was up to standards as experienced staff was given the responsibilities of maintaining the plant. The resort management and staff should do their utmost to maintain the water quality standards and follow the environmental monitoring program outlined in this report for the sustainable use of the plants. | en_US |
