Overview
Environmentally, whenever we use or part of it publicly, assessment is one of the critical thinking
and mindset who is philosophically involved in the development of the society for the people.
This author’s article will gather necessary information; elaborate the needs, the benefits of how
the drainage environmental impact assessment works within the landscape market, and values.
Involving services infrastructure engineering on both design and project management within the
public domain is another interesting topic to discuss, which the author’s philosophical adventure
during the stint of Qatar development as an example of high values for more than decades.
However, environmental impact assessment within infrastructure engineering is necessary before
the drainage project development work commencement start. This is what we called off a
continuous flow and work process, for instance, the accumulated drainage from the building built
environment which is gravitationally discharged either to the public sewerage system or to the
surface groundwater services (SGW) manhole down to the public domain. Due to the pipe pitch
and elevations, considering pumping stations have to be designed and constructed until it reaches
and delivers to the sewage treatment plant (STP) facilities for water treatment and back to the
public for another purpose commercially. The process engineering, on the other hand, is similar to

all power plants, electrical grids, and water generations which are being distributed from the
public domain down to the household, industrial, and commercial for consumer usages.
For improving the quality of our environment, the author’s article; “Flood Control Management
on Built Environment,” (published in ViewPoint Journal September 2021 Edition), have
provided “Seven-Tips on Flooding Prevention when Heavy Rains Comes,” and the use
of “Environmental Impact Assessment in the System Plumbing Design and Installation” that have
been discussed thereof as part of flood control management prevention in mitigating floods where
all necessary approaches come up with a final solution and development what needs to be done in
the low lying areas based on the gathered drainage environmental impact assessment.
In alignment with the topic which is similar to the author’s article, “7-Tips on Flooding
Prevention when Heavy Rains Comes” (published in ResearchGate platform, August 2021), the
assessment is most likely about the backflow occurrences after the downfall of heavy rains as a
consequence of flooding and thereby affecting the entire infrastructure including residential,
commercial, and industrial establishments like what happened in some part of Manila (Photos 01).
Photo 01, Flooding in Metro Manila with Typhoon Fabian (images by jlagomeseria-25July2021)
With Photo 01, no doubt about the negative pressure might happen as a consequence of flooding,
the tendency is that the building plumbing fixtures cannot be used properly if ever the public
sewer network is leaking, clogged drains due to trashes, and/or not properly maintained by the
government authorities, e.g. any home or building toilets cannot be able to flush normally as well
as to drain wastewater to other water-using appliances outlet but a consistent water backflow.
In this regard, the public authorities will have to give an assurance that the infrastructure is well
maintained as well as the public will have to cooperate with a desirable discipline following
environmental laws and ordinances so that there will be no clogged drains in the public sewer
network, thus, the building establishment is in safe and a more desirable input with a healthy
environment to human beings. Further, one of the solutions alternatively for the building premises
that can uphold against flooding is using and proving backflow valve in the building house sewer.
Normally, heavy rain comes unexpectedly and this is heavily experiencing in every country
around the world and no one is an excuse to it. In the author's belief, it is not due to Climate
Change or an El Niño year, it is because of the reality that heavy rains are happening yearly.
Flooding experienced will cause severe damages to buildings and infrastructure properties. And
many from their homes and building built environment in various localities are not equipped to
handle all such heavy rains that caused them. Basically with excess water from the rainstorms,
which always leads to severe flooding issues, devaluated assets, and reported accidents.
The photo above emphasizes the output that had been assessed and come up with the solution in
helping the environment, showing the structured surface groundwater (SGW) drainage network,
sewage treatment process in recycling water for commercial and agricultural purposes, and the
importance of flood control management in the low lying areas that is common practice in any of

the countries we live in. The layout has been crafted to simplify the story into one picture of how
the drainage environmental impact assessment work and applies in the environmental localities.
What Needs to be Done ahead before Work Comencement?
For all the projects before the design implementation, the Client Engineers and Management will
always ask for the Environmental Impact Assessment report about the project. It is an essential
tool for the decision to move forward on how to decide with the proposed action and modeling.
Further, the importance of drainage EIA in the project before project implementation will be
discussed below. And as far as the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is concerned, the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has clearly defined and the author’s quote that, “it is a
process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development,
taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both
beneficial and adverse.” Thus, with all related impacts provided in the environmental impact
statement (EIS), the project team must be aware and implied of the consequential process in the
development like the creation of strategic environmental assessment to facilitate it accordingly.
And as for the drainage engineering project, this has to be studied carefully concerning the
positive and negative effects on the environment. These contribute to environmental degradation,
hydrological areas, quality of the surface, the subsurface water, and the ecological landscape.
Moreover, the main purpose of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to present a
concise account about the main issues of the project, which may have a significantly adverse
impact on the environment, e.g. Surface Groundwater Services (SGW) Drainage Network Project
(Figure 01) as an example for the topic. In summary of the required Drainage Environmental
Impact Assessment, the main objectives are the followings:
 Establish the existing environmental conditions at the site and in the immediate vicinity
that would be potentially affected by the proposed development,
 Identify and document the potential effects, both positive and negative, that may arise
from the construction and operation of the proposed Surface Groundwater Services (SGW)
Drainage Network Project, taking account of the size and location, the sensitivity of the
local environment, and the requirements of Statutory authorities,
 Assess priority impacts of noise and odour on the site and its immediate surroundings, and
 To identify and evaluate measures that may be employed to mitigate adverse impacts.
Essential Arrangement and Procedures When Doing an Assessment
In the author’s Journal content; “Sewage Water & Surface Groundwater Services Network
Design & Stakeholder Management,” (published in ResearchGate and CEAI ViewPoint Journal,
September 2020 Edition), the importance of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report
has been discussed and reiterated in this article to emphasize on how to prepare and develop the
report about new or existing buildings and infrastructure drainage on built-environment.
The development of EAI shall have patience through desk studies for a particular project, various
site visits, consultations with the respected regulatory authorities, and investigations by
independent sub-consultants to have a perfect solution required for the project study.
In conducting drainage environmental impact assessment shall be based on the situation of the
localities and design scope as agreed with the project client's vision. The study shall be prepared
following the National Building Codes, National Plumbing Code, Environmental Laws, and the
Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) from the concerned authorities (National and Local
Government Units in the country) for the terms and technical guidance in conducting the
assessment. Additionally, the drainage EIA must be provided and developed in line with
international best practice guidelines and environmental parameters that are assessed the
importance of possible parameters in the environmental areas, infrastructure, and building system
plumbing as well as incorporating flood control management strategy using the four phases
Page 3 of 10

process through adaptation and mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery in resolving
localities low lying areas if necessary and the following methodologies that might help such:
 Contacting academic/interest groups to identify available environmental data for the
development area, which is, the implication of positive and negative effects in
the environment, and the flood control management strategy on the built environment;
 Undertaking baseline walkover assessments of the proposed project and environmental
development to gain an appreciation of overall landscape and demographics;
 Conducting extensive surveys of the ecology & archaeology within the environment;
 Ensuring the assessment, as far as possible within the defined scope of work, that the
existing environment as defined within the priority issues is not compromised;
 Identifying all practical and applicable mitigation measures for all the potential negative
impacts that will be identified during the process;
 The EIA, therefore, shall ensure compliance with the international best practices, authority
regulations, environmental law, building code, national plumbing codes, and local code
standards including adherence to the UNDPs principles of sustainable development.
All assessed environmental drainage impacts will firstly be identified as being either significant or
insignificant, because, this is the vital point in determining priority impacts that will require the
development & mitigation measures owing to the positive & negative effects on the environment.
Direct Effects of Installing Surface Groundwater Infrastructure
The learned effects of Fig 01 as an example that tends to the subsurface incidents are as follows;
1. Reduction in the average amount of water stored in the soil will increase the moisture
storage and prolong hydro-graphs of flow,
2. The effect of hydrological changes conditions of soil and drainage system characteristics,
3. Change in land use and capability,
4. Subsurface drainage will increase agricultural area, and
5. Ecological tile-drained areas.
Figure 01, Qatar Outlet Area for
the Surface Groundwater Services
(SGW) Drainage Network Project
The natural groundwater resources

in Figure 01 consist of limited
quantities in alluvial qualifiers and
extensive groundwater reserves in
deep sedimentary aquifers.
However, other than Figure 01,
most of the projects concerning
environmental impact assessment
are more concerned about the
indirect effects compared to direct
effects. It is because that the
indirect effect can be physical,
chemical, biological, and
hydrological, which can be made complicated either, it could be positive or negative impacts. The
positive impact can be the salinization, water table lowering, and productivity levels of the major
crops; whilst the negative impact is the effect owing to the discharge like excessive leaching of
valuable soil nutrients that are associated with salts of highly polluted drainage water composed
of coliform group of bacteria indicator, thus, will affect firstly of human health as well as the
ecological aspect of the environment within the localities in the country.

Risk Impact Owing Positive and Negative Effects to the Environment

Risk assessment reflects on human health from the ecological aspect and the approaches on
environmental management with all the issues following the government policies and regulations
in solving the formulated problem and identified hazard from the release assessment, exposure
assessment, and consequence assessment, e.g. the effect of global climate change, loss of habitat
and biodiversity and the effects of multiple anthropogenic chemicals on ecological systems.
The ecological risk impact refers to the two separate things which are referring to the positive and
negative effects on the environment that has been elaborate of installing SGW as an example.
 Firstly, it is about the risk to the environment as a result of human activity. One of the
examples is those contaminated sites, e.g. Figure 01 as one of the example projects in
Qatar within the communal urban areas.
 Secondly, the risk affecting the biota-flora, fauna, and the people throughout the
ecological aspect as a result of environmental hazards and pollution, and from then, that
will suffer the entire biodiversity and ecological landscape.
However, the drainage impact on surface groundwater services (SGW) drainage network has
positive and negative effects that contribute to environmental degradation such as;
1. Effects on hydrological area,
2. Effects on the quality of surface and subsurface water,
3. Effects on the ecological land areas, and
4. Effects on the landscape.
Therefore, with all the carried environmental studies and development, the importance of
environmental impact assessment and its policy recommendations have to be provided in the first
stage of design review to secure a concrete vision and approval towards the final design of the
project considering both positive and negative impacts that have been identified before the surface
groundwater services network (SGW) implementation down to STPs (Figure 02) in the country.
Moreover, a successful development application for the project will depend on the rational use of
environmental resources as being identified in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report
on minimizing or eliminating any adverse environmental impacts by improving the planning,
environmental design, and project implementation guided by the environmental management
principles, governmental policies and regulations from the authority having jurisdiction.

Negative Impact Owing to the Discharge like Excessive Leaching
In the author’s article; “Environmental Engineering in Built-up Areas,” (published in ViewPoint
Journal December 2019 Edition), wastewater spillage from a sewer pipeline occurs when was
extended and the last manhole is already full (Photo 03). The incidents stay longer resulting in
pollution, not only from the water spillage but the air itself pollutes the Al Nasser area. This is one
Page 5 of 10

of the examples of surface groundwater that can’t be denied despite drainage refurbishment.
However, the situation creates water pollution and sometimes occurs while cleaning a good point
dewatering system from a building basement and the pipe discharging into the nearest sewer
manhole. Other cases can be the sludge generated during the construction of the pile foundation or
spillages of wastewater from the pipeline. Sometimes, there is leakage from the temporary sewer
pipelines, a covered sewer network within Doha, affecting human health and the environment.

The development of infrastructure in any localities is an essential key in the prevention of flood as
well, like in the Philippines with severe flooding experiences due to typhoons (Photo 01), whereas
the Surface Ground Water Network (SGW) has to be managed and studied carefully like for
example by providing culvert drainage (Photo 04) will be great to the communities. However,
with Photo 02 where heavy rush water at the main road of Sapang Bato, Angeles City during
heavy rains, and Photos 05 where heavy leached wastewater drainage from nearby houses runs
through sideway of the Sapang Bato Main Road during the sunny day are not excused in doing
such kind of practices but the local government authority has to address in reviving the situation
for the sake of the people living there. The practices have been compromised with polluted water
owing to negative effects on the environment and risk impact to human health overall.

Another example in the Philippines, public sewer network is not available throughout regions but
through a septic tank system only. The septic tank has been designed which is incorporated in
every household or building built environment in the building design stage. Septic Tank is
mandatory for every household as per the Philippine National Plumbing Code. Whereas the
wastewater and the sewage water from the household are directly flowed through the designed
house sewer pipe down to the septic tank itself. The treatment process in the septic tank works
independently in three stages and the leached wastewater drainage is directly tapped off to the
Surface Ground Water Network (SGW) or the lake–river body. The sad thing there, in the
author’s article; “The Importance of Backflow Valve on Built Environment,” (published in
ResearchGate, August 2021), however, in the Philippines are not but directly discharge, e.g. to the
Pasig River, Manila Bay, or any rivers by default without even proper treatment, which is

unenvironmentally and malpractice happened during from the Aquino down to Aquino
Administrations. This is what happened to Boracay as “Cesspool” as described by President
Duterte in his speech as well as in the author’s article; “Review about the Reflection on the
Battle of Manila Bay (Leadership towards Sustainable Environment, a Political
Will);” (published in ResearchGate, February 2019), whereas Manila Bay became a Cesspool
and Garbage Area of Metro Manila with undesirable smell – became water and air pollutions.

Causes and Effect Assessment in the Building System Plumbing
Moreover, the positive impact can be done following the environmental laws whereas we all
know that the Sanitary Sewers in the Building-Built Environment work by gravitational force
principally. Sustainably, the soiled water from the water closet and urinal fixtures shall be piped
as Soil Pipe independently while drainage fixtures other than water closet and urinal fixtures shall
be piped as Waste Pipe. And with this system design configuration can assure a healthy
environment. The work process can be referred to the author’s article; “Energy Conservation for
Utilities Means Sustainability;” (published in the CEAIndia ViewPoint Journal, September 2018
edition.) Because energy and water play a significant role in the utilities with the current
technological competitive landscape and are to be reckoned with in targeting any benchmarking
program in terms of energy conservation on reducing carbon dioxide emissions through system
selection, maximizing system & equipment efficiency, & exploiting renewable energy resources.
The public sewer main lines are owned and maintained by either city or municipal government.
And by working experience, these are typically piped with an invert level between 3-meters and
4.5-meters deep from the ground surface level and will be deeper up to 30-meters deep with a
built-in drainage pumping station to Sewage Treatment Plant Facilities in the Middle East.
On the other hand, the Causes and Effect of Sewer Backflow Assessment can be triggered and
identified in different situations that are usually happening in the system flow are the followings:
 Drainage Pipe Blockages (this situation can happen either in a private or city sewer pipe)
that caused by tree roots, all necessary tree leaves, unavoidable trashes, construction
mishaps, building plumbing system deterioration, and other debris that can be found in the
building plumbing system down to the area drains (Photo 06);
 Intolerable Pipe cracks due to the system plumbing installation;
 No proper pipe ventilation provided in the system building plumbing;
 Drainage system pipelines back-pitched in the system plumbing;
 Surcharges in the sewer line due to heavy rain that cause flooding; and
 Residential growth (population density) resulting from insufficient capacity.
Additionally, the building plumbing system has been designed and provided for all building
facilities to discharge in the proper wastewater disposal to give positive to human health and or
environment. However, based on the conducted investigation and surveys, in all of the building
facilities, we have now, only offices and household establishments are the ones who have been
experiencing the kind of blockage incidents that are often caused by kitchen grease accumulation
Page 7 of 10
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(no grease trap has been provided in the kitchen plumbing), hair accumulation found in the toilet,
physical obstruction affecting installed drainage pipe and the drainage pipe slope itself.
All of those unwanted materials that can be found like napkins, diapers, cigarette butts, toilet
paper, and others in the building plumbing system are the main causes of drainage pipe blockage
and usually happening because of the tenants on how they use exactly the facility (e.g. Photo 06).
Whenever the house sewer pipe is blocked, all wastewater from the drainage fixtures has no
chance of flowing in the right direction and this tends to backflow to the system pipe. The most
common serious how these happening or causing sewer backflow conditions in the building
plumbing system is when a public sewer system becomes surcharged due to the negative pressure.
Moreover, to prevent backflow in the building plumbing system, each household fixture unit shall
have with ventilation pipe connection so that the system flow will have a positive pressure.

Building Drainage System Risk Impact on Built Environment
In this article, the purpose of having a thorough drainage environmental impact assessment (EIA)
is to secure safeties and comfort, the adversity of human needs, and a healthy environment. With
all the above thoughts and conceptualize provisions that need to be done within the built
environment and infrastructure must be addressed so that people’s lives will not be compromised
owing to negative effects to the environment and risk impact to human health, however, positive
impact to enhance productivity levels to improve our capabilities on the other hand.
Infrastructural obligation, since building plumbing system contributes risks incident drastically to
human health, drainage environmental impact assessment is more relevant to secure safeties and
comfort within the built environment, shall be addressed. The health implications and
consequences of sewer backflow carry a multitude of health risks to humans. The fact that public
sewer network carries mainly all waste discharge virtually not only from the raw human waste but
the unknown chemical waste that has been discharged commercially into filthy mixed once the
incident enters to your home or within the building premises. If the building plumbing system is
not properly installed and maintained without any assessment done and designed according to the
National Plumbing Code and Environmental Laws, the clean-up value might exceed the cost of
the system installation, using the licensed and trained professional cleaning service once happens.
In the author’s article; “Flood Control Management on Built Environment,” (published in the
CEAIndia ViewPoint Journal, September 2021 edition), would like to reiterate that in the building
plumbing practice as part of prevention in mitigating floods and risk impact owing to the positive
effect within the built environment, there are Three Types of Sewer Backflow Valve Preventer to
choose to be applied in the building drainage system and they are the followings;
1. The threaded and glued method involves a threaded T-device into the house sewer pipe,
2. Compression Fitting method that relies on the pressure washer to seal around the house
sewer pipe, and
Page 8 of 10
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Bell hub and plain end connection of the house sewer pipe.
However, any improper installation held will lead to wastewater leakage in the house sewer pipe
connection assembly, but to take note to avoid the most common installation errors such as;
1. When the designed is a combined house sewer in the building drainage that accepts
rainwater storm drains either coming from the roof or area/storm drains (Photo 06), a
sewer backflow valve preventer cannot be installed on the building house sewer.
2. Improper installation of a sewer backflow valve preventer either in the building side or to
the house side of the trap shall be avoided. Because of the trap plugs leak or might a blow-
off occurrence, the built-environment will be flooded with wastewater.
3. Whenever the slope requirement or adequate pitch necessary for the pipe is not available
or had been layout forcedly without following the pipe slope required, the sewer backflow
valve will not function correctly on either open or close by principle. This will give a
negative impact on the building system plumbing because the building house drain will
tend or might suffer from frequent clogs due to inadequate pipe slope in the system.
The building plumbing system in the built environment is merely a complicated weave of pipes,
valves, drains, and vents causing headaches to the building owners. But tend to be more or less
forced to trust that the building system pipes will hold up functionality to work forever.
A sewer backflow preventer device in the building plumbing system has been designed for one
function only, and that is to protect and prevent any water backflow or accumulated negative
pressure coming from the public sewer network mains down to any building low lying areas.
Although benefiting from it, but does not end for all circumstances in avoiding expensive repair to
the sewer backflow preventer device or even to the building plumbing system because of the
damages that have been brought. Nonetheless and as part of flood control management, using this
device will help the building occupants or the homeowners having peace of mind to the
environment they live in with the prevention of health hazards that might be brought to them.
Conclusion
The drainage environmental impact assessment involves understanding the nature of whatever
changes that have been taken place as well as determining its significance relevance to human life
whilst attribution or the contribution is about the impact on their interventions within the
infrastructure and building built environment configuration as required by the Authority.
All relevant issues might be changed depending on the approaches towards environmental design
brought from residential, commercial, and industrial establishments which will require utility
services combination of external services to the site and the onsite generation, recycles, and reuse
of resources using available technologies. Hence, the overall infrastructure goal is to redevelop &
secure a healthy environment from a design perspective, from construction to sustainable living.
In reinstating all those causes and effects, risk impact owing positive and negative effects to
the environment, and building drainage system risk impact on the built environment shall be
carefully understood. Thus, having drainage environmental impact assessment is an essential tool
and guidelines, a kind of vision and awareness of what needs to be done within the infrastructure
and the building's built environment. And most cases, it is for the improvement that dwells of
common understanding and realization of workforce contributions from the Consulting Engineers,
Scientists, and Volunteers which might help the government in implementing the building code,
national plumbing code, environmental laws, implementing rules and regulations, et al recognize
the imperative of cultivating a sense of environmental responsibility within the ecological aspect.
In conclusion, again will reiterate the same principle that with the involvement of all
governmental agencies, corporate, industrialists, manufacturers, and developers within the country
are more advantageous to adopt and adapt the most effective policies in protecting the
environmental assets and to improve the quality of our environment we live in sustainably.

Recommendations
The structured landscape and biodiversity shall be reinstated for the same and having with the
drainage environmental impact assessment will help in the development for whatever innovative
proposal within the ecological project. Incorporating adaptation and mitigating processes in
protecting environmental assets is essential and must be carefully studied and addressed. Hence,
the overall infrastructure goal has to be redeveloped in securing a healthy environment. The
formulations of the UNDP’s Sustainable Development Goals are needed to be considered also to
secure an established sustainable environment with a long-term solution.
