Tamil Research Institute
RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
• An inland rectangular 2.5 x 2.5 km next to each of the 4 proposed port locations area was selected to
obtain the above data on vegetation and crops from which to estimate the impact.
• Impact on vegetation, terrestrial ecosystems = total area (m2) x vegetation unit(i) value+ ... + total area
(m2) x vegetation unit(j) value;
•
The impact will be higher for those alternatives that affect vegetation and crops of higher ecological importance.
Thus, the higher the value of the indicator, the worse the considered alternative would be.
The following images show vegetation and crop units for the 2.5 x 2.5 km2 area for each port location.
