Floriculture is one of the booming sectors in Ethiopia, and a good way to generatingrnincome for both the owners and the government. Beside this, different environmentalistsrncomplain on the industry because the industry uses too much pesticides and chemicalrnfertilizers which damage the environment. The general objective of this research is tornassess the ecological impacts of floriculture industries on surrounding environment withrnrespect to the existing environmental regulations/EIA/ and implementation, and assessingrna need for strategic environmental assessment/SEA/ which basically focuses onrncumulative impacts. The study was conducted on floriculture industry and the surroundingrnenvironment where the industries are congested, in Debrezeit town. The necessary datarnare collected through interviewing the employee (Senior Experts) in floriculture industry,rndirect physical site observation and assessing existing situation of the study area and byrntaking sample from the soil and river water. Water samples are taken at five sample pointsrnalong the Wedecha River which is found adjacent to the industries. Eight parameters (pH,rnelectrical conductivity (EC), Nitrate (No3-N), reactive phosphate (PO4), Biological oxygenrndemand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), Sulfate (SO4), Total ammonia (T-NH3))rnare used to analyze ecological impacts of the industries on water body. The soil samplernalso taken from two different green houses those are established in different time series.rnThe following parameters, pH, CEC, EC, Phosphorus (P) and total Nitrogen (TN) are usedrnto analyze the impact on the soil by the industries. The founding result indicating thatrnsome parameters BOD5 (54 mg/l), PO4 (3.4 mg/l), NO3 (16.6 mg/l), T-NH3rnKeywords: Floriculture industry, effluent, EIA and SEArn(0.1 mg/l) fromrnwater samples are beyond the standard which is stated by EPA. And the soil sample resultrnof (CEC and EC) also has a great difference when compared to common agricultural soilrnand the concentration of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are high when compared torninternational standards. Beside this, 90% of the flower industry uses ground waterrnresources. As planting media 40% uses soil bed, hydroponics 30% and the rest 30% alsornused both planting media. The waste is discharged directly to water body by 30% of thernfarm and 40% are drain to the land. The land use change is also visible, 30% of the farm isrnestablished on local farmerâ€™s area, and 40% are established on state farm area and thernrest 30% are established by removing the swampy area. In the case of health issue onlyrn20% of the farms have a clinic. And no one have (100%) EIA document. Therefore, tornassure the environmental sustainability of the booming projects of floriculture industry, thernintroduction of SEA to the country will flourish the way. SEA can do in a better way whichrnEIA is unable to do. Wastewater recycling, Wastewater treatment, Vegetation Bufferrnpreparation, integrated pest management (IPM) practices, Health and safety training tornworkers, and application of Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA are a goodrnpractices to minimize the impact and For better, sustainable and conducive environmentrnsake
