Assessment of environmental impacts from irrigation and drainage projects

Pearce Geoff, . (1993) Assessment of environmental impacts from irrigation and drainage projects. [Proceedings Paper]

The paper discusses the growing need for improved assessment of the environmental impacts of irrigation and drainage projects and links this to the need to make such projects more sustainable and less wasteful of resources. The ICID Environmental Check-list is recognised as a means of making progress in this respect. The need for improved communication between irrigation and drainage professionals is also noted. The IPTRID Networking initiative is a recent means of encouraging such interaction. It is likely that the use of the ICID check-list will also provide a means for such communication to increase.

Abstract

The paper discusses the growing need for improved assessment of the environmental impacts of irrigation and drainage projects and links this to the need to make such projects more sustainable and less wasteful of resources. The ICID Environmental Check-list is recognised as a means of making progress in this respect. The need for improved communication between irrigation and drainage professionals is also noted. The IPTRID Networking initiative is a recent means of encouraging such interaction. It is likely that the use of the ICID check-list will also provide a means for such communication to increase.
