“…The current EIA mechanism treats citizens as passive recipients of developmental benefits, not as development partners with fundamental rights (Menon & Kohli, 2015). Many appeals concerning ECs in the industrial sector before NGT showcases the lacunae in the existing legal system (Rengarajan et al, 2018; Samad et al, 2015). The EIA system's flaws are found to emanate from limitations in the legal, institutional, and procedural realms, as depicted in Figure 2.…”

The paper presents a systematic exploration of the linkages between environment impact assessment (EIA) and sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the Indian context through a critical analysis of the socio‐ecological impacts of development projects and the policy climate for environmental clearances. A conceptual framework portraying the interlinkages of the systemic disruptions in the socio‐ecological realms, policy challenges, and SDGs is developed, which argues for integrating the SDGs into the EIA framework in India. The paper argues that the legal fluidity and dilution in the design and enactment of EIA retrogrades the crucial socio‐political transformation required for achieving sustainability. The systematic literature review of empirical, conceptual, and grey literature, undertaken on Indian EIA, highlights its instrumental role as a political tool for achieving developmental sustainability. The paper concludes by highlighting the urgent need to mainstream ecological decision‐making into all governance processes for achieving the SDGs in a transforming society like India.

“…The remediation of contaminated waterbodies is a timeconsuming process and requires resources in terms of technical expertise as well as money. There is need for allocating the liabilities associated with the clean-up of the contaminated waterbody to the responsible parties to avoid the cost being booked to the public exchequer [17,18]. In order to apportion the liability of clean-up among the polluters, all sources contributing to the pollution need to be identified.…”

With increasing contamination of waterbodies, access to clean drinking water has become a challenge. Preventing further contamination and cleaning up of existing contamination are the immediate steps to address this challenge. For this, the sources of contamination and their relative contributions need to be ascertained. The bottom sediments from an urban waterbody named “Conolly Canal” was analyzed for heavy metal contamination. The level of contamination of the waterbody was assessed using Pollution Load Index. A Monte Carlo analysis (MCA) was performed on the heavy metals concentrations measured to apportion the contribution among the identified sources. The results of MCA were used to proportion the concentration of chemicals among the responsible parties based on the concentration of the contaminants in the waterbody. The study presents a robust procedure for source apportionment, which can be adopted in similar situations.
