Additional comment: 6 Sustainability Assessment 6.1 Watershed Risk Assessment If the entire PoA is assessed, the following points need to be addressed in the risk assessment. 1.1 Is the programme’s physical area of influence (e.g. basin, watershed) in a water stressed or water scarce region? The programme is required to provide evidence of the over stress of the basin in which it operates and demonstrate that it’s consumption of water is negligible compared to the overall availability of water within the basin. Answer Yes No (delete not applicable answer) Data sources and method Sources: , , . or other recognised tools Method: An analysis of the water scarcity within the project’s physical area of influence (e.g. basin, watershed) and impacts assessed. Monitoring 3.5 years Explanation of answer Provide explanation to support answer including sources and methods used, reasons for choice of sources and methods, estimation of impact, etc. 1.2 Will the PoA exacerbate and therefore contribute to any negative impacts to the natural pattern of the watershed(s) such as high seasonal flow variability, flooding potential, lack of aquatic connectivity, drought, or climate change? The risk of the programme negatively impacting the catchment shall be assessed and addressed to ensure its ongoing, long-term viability and impact on surrounding social economic and environmental assets. Answer Yes No (delete not applicable answer)
