The use of the ICID Environmental Checklist to identify the environmental effects of irrigation, drainage and flood control projects was explained in ODU Bulletin 29. The Check-list is a comprehensive list of the environmental impacts of water development projects. It is a guide for environmental evaluation and planning and can be used by non-specialists. The systematic approach ensures that important aspects are not overlooked. It contains a facility to identify which topics listed in the data-sheets are specifically related to particular questions, and vice versa.
Indicators show study progress, and full reference and comprehensive help sections are included.
It is a relatively simple package that adds a new dimension to the checklist approach, as it enables information to be stored directly following fieldwork and a report printed without further word processing.
