From EIA_Wiki

As a case example of mitigation for a dam project the EIA for the Seco River Dam in Oaxaca Mexico identified a series of measures to avoid or minimise the impact of the proposed dam, including:

• replacing homes and lands of the people displaced;
• operating and rehabilitating borrow pits in an appropriate manner;
• establishing fish breeding programmes;
• removing trees for wood from the site prior to flooding;
• instituting environmental management regimes for the watershed, forestry,grazing etc.;
• planting trees as barriers;
• promoting agricultural practices that will reduce the need for water; and
• establishing technical advisory, financing and social service programmes.
