Groundwater Management Action Plan. Stage 2. Situation Analysis. Checklists and Questionnaire
Abstract
皇冠体育app main document provides checklists for Stage 2 of a Groundwater Management Action Plan for a city that utilises aquifers below or close to the city (in the periurban fringe). 皇冠体育app checklists are ordered in the typical sequence of an Action Plan work programme: data collection and analysis, vulnerability and contaminant load assessments. References to reports with more information on the techniques described, or with worked examples, are included at the end of each checklist sub-section.
Also appended is a Questionnaire that seeks to collect data on a core set of urban groundwater data which can be used in:
- (a) 皇冠体育app formulation of a comprehensive groundwater status profile of city; and
- (b) 皇冠体育app development of a database useful for developing groundwater management strategies and policies and, to this end, running the Decision Support System Tool.
皇冠体育app Questionnaire is split into six sections. 皇冠体育app first section (A) deals with baseline information considered important in any urban environment data gathering/profiling exercise, including urban demographics and economic activities. 皇冠体育app remaining five sections (B-F) deal with groundwater conditions, use, contaminant loads, management/institutional arrangements and degradation impacts, respectively. Each section contains a help sheet with guidance on completing the forms. Guidance is provided on items such as potential data sources, computations and units.皇冠体育app Questionnaire is intended to be filled out by a study team, or mailed out in sections for completion by appropriate personnel. Also appended is a separate worked example of the urban groundwater questionnaire for Bishkek, Kyrghyzstan based on 1998 data.
