| Abstract | These guidelines are designed to help those involved in the assessment of emergency water sources to collect relevant information in a systematic way, to use this information to select a source or sources and to determine the appropriate level of treatment required to make the water suitable for drinking. Following an introduction, section 2 identifies procedures and provides tools for the selection of water sources for survival supply (usually most appropriate in the initial stage of an emergency). Section 3 identifies procedures and provides tools for the selection of a water source for longer term supply. Within these sections are procedural flowcharts, selection tools, checklists for information gathering and survey sheets. Section 4 contains supporting information on specific issues or assessment procedures, including: case studies; water quantities, water yield/level measurement; water quality assessment; catchment mapping/surveying,; water quality analysis; biological surveys; water treatment; hydrogeology and groundwater surveys. Section 5 contains a glossary, useful addresses, details of field equipment and a bibliography. |
