Environmental impact assesment manual and guidelines for the Somali water sector

(Extract from the preface)brThe overall goal was to prepare a practical user-friendly EIA process (including environmental, social and economic assessment) to enhance the integration of environmental planning in the EC Rehabilitation Programme for Somalia, with particular applicability to the rural water sector. The manual was prepared during November-December 1997 as part of the IUCN Somali Natural Resources Management Programme. During field testing in the North Western region, consultations were held with the Somali authorities and most of the organizations that are actively involved in implementation of water development projects in the Region. A core team of Somali professionals from these institutions and organizations carried out the field testing together with the IUCN consultants. Project areas for the testing were selected by three implementing agencies (OXFAM, Swiss Group and AICF). Results from the tests are briefly summarized in case studies referred to in the guidelines.

Land Quality Indicators and their Use in Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development

But the report also poses as many questions as it answers, which in itself reflects the diversity of viewpoints on indicators.

Remote sensing and water resources

The workshop's objective was to review the state of the art in the use of remote sensing for water resources assessment and management with special reference to operational techniques. It emphasizes on surface hydrology, with applications for arid and semi-arid areas in developing countries for which such techniques are believed to be of particular relevance
