Discuss the various methodologies used in EIA process. Explain the Strategic Environmental Assessment.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a crucial process used to evaluate the potential environmental effects of a proposed development project or activity. It helps decision-makers, stakeholders, and the public understand the possible environmental consequences and provides a framework for mitigating negative impacts. Various methodologies are employed during the EIA process, each designed to assess and predict the effects of projects in different contexts and to various extents. These methodologies are chosen based on the type, scale, and nature of the proposed development. Additionally, one of the key aspects of modern environmental governance is the use of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), which is a broader and more proactive approach to sustainability and planning. 

### 1. Screening

Screening is the first step in the EIA process. Its purpose is to determine whether a proposed project requires a full EIA study or whether a more limited environmental review can be conducted. Screening involves evaluating the size, location, and potential impacts of a project to decide if it meets the threshold set by national or regional regulations for requiring an EIA. If the project falls under the required thresholds, a detailed EIA study will be carried out.

Screening can be done through:
- Regulatory screening: Where the project is reviewed based on specific legal or regulatory requirements.
- Environmental screening: Focuses on the project's environmental characteristics to determine its potential impacts.
