To incorporate into development a planning tool which identifies a plan for environmental protection and enhancement on a project-byproject basis.
Carried out:
Within a limited budget
Based on:
(i) Limited budget (ii) Readily available information (iii) Professional judgment
(vii) is the project consistent with national energy policies? (viii) is the project consistent with national foreign exchange policies? (ix) whether due consideration has been given, in the feasibility studies, to alternative projects?
Should be based on beneficial-use analysis Must include definition of area of influence Must present findings on an environmental base map
Beneficial uses
Evaluate the impacts of the proposed WRD project on the significant beneficial uses of the water bodies affected
Alteration in such beneficial uses may result in impacts on other human use and quality - of -life values
STEPS
(i) Description of study area (including description of all ERVs) (ii) Description of the project (project per se & operations involved) (iii) Quantification of effects of project on ERVs (legal implications, field investigations, sampling & analysis) (iv) Development of concl. & recomm. (feasible measures which should be considered)
Prefeasibility
Feasibility
Rapid EIA
Detailed EIA

Operation
Env. Monitoring
- area of strata from which water is pumped - recharge area - areas where water is used & routes of transmission
ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS
Natural Physical Resources Natural Ecological Resources Human Use Values Quality-of-life-values
SELECTION OF METHODOLOGIES
Systematic in approach Able to organize a large mass of heterogeneous data Able to quantify, relatively accurately, the impacts Capable of summarizing such data Able to aggregate the data into sets with least loss of information Should have good predictive capability Should extract the salient features Should be able to display the raw data and the derived information in a meaningful manner
General Methodologies
Ad hoc Checklists Matrices Networks Overlays Environmental index using factor analysis Cost / Benefit analysis Simulation modeling workshops
