Hang Son Doong cave is that this plentiful supply of water can be collected from
the caves water sources and no costly or time consuming procedures of setting
up rain tanks or importing water from surrounding areas have to be undertaken.
However, this blessing does not come without disadvantages. The water sources
might have to be diverted away from animal habitats and plants which need this
water to survive so the process of collecting water can be easier and potentially
less hazardous. Also, if the enough water is collected beyond a certain level than
the plentiful water supply will decrease, leaving the wet, moist cave to the
possibility of a drought. While it might not seem that such a large supply of water
can be diminished quickly, the hotel will need to circulate massive amounts of
water for supplying to guests and staff, cooking, plumbing, et cetera. These
problems might not be easily fixable when encountered, so it is important that
our company understands the water systems of the cave. Therefore, a solution to
the negative impacts of utilizing water sources from the cave is to undergo an
investigation of the water systems before collecting water from the cave and
gathering data on the topic.

To create space for the large attractions and hotel inside of the cave, sections of
the cave wall can be removed in an excavation. However, this process can
destroy animal habitats and tree roots, and can dislodge fragile cave segments,
rocks and soil, factors which negatively impact the social value of the company
and cave environment, and the excavation can be very costly due to the
expensive machinery and equipment. This process also requires a lot of effort
and is very time consuming. A simple solution to avoiding these negative
impacts is to avoid setting up a cave excavation and try and make do with the
space that the cave already provides. Fortunately, being the largest cave in the
entire planet, the Hang Son Doong has many wide and spacious caverns that can
be utilized to hold the attractions and hotel needed to complete the experience,
and attractions can be spread a large distance inside of the cave to avoid the
attractions being cramped into a single space:
from petrol and other substances into the air and water sources of the air,
making the cave incredibly more toxic and making it uncomfortable for
guests to stay.
PEV Native organisms such as animals, plants and the roots of trees from
the jungle on the surface will not be affected if an excavation does not
take place.
PEV Air flows could have been affected by an excavation, which would
have resulted in a lack of essential gases such as oxygen being supplied to
the cave and to the organisms inside of it.
NEV Animal movements and air flows could be interrupted if blocked by
attractions and hotel set up in a small and cramped area of the cave.
NEV Attractions being spread out over a large distance will negatively
affect animal habitats and plants, and dislodge cave sediment and rocks
over a larger area, and the increasing need for transportation vehicles will
contribute greatly to the negative environmental impact as plants, animal
habitats and cave sediment will be crushed and dislodged beneath the
wheels.
NEV Due to the increase of vehicles, toxic fluids such as petrol and the
noxious fumes that it creates could spill into water sources and pollute the
water, and could also pollute the air in the cave and make it toxic for the
animals and plants which thrive in the cave.
PEC The excavation would be very time consuming costly due to the use
of expensive machinery, so not engaging in a removal of segments of the
cave wall will save time and money.
NEC If attractions do not fit inside of the cave or are too cramped or
squashed in to the point where they are hazardous and potentially faulty,
then new, smaller attractions will have to be ordered, a process which will
waste a lot of money and time.
NEC Attractions being spread out over a large distance will increase the
need for transportation vehicles and ultimately increasing the need for
vehicle maintenance and increasing the cost of vehicle repairs and fluids
such as petrol.
