Checklist 5: Water Source Selection
1. Water Quantity
☐ Sufficient water quantity available
The selected source must provide enough water to meet current demand as well as future growth requirements.
2. Water Quality
☐ Water quality suitable for drinking water production
Raw water quality should allow treatment to drinking water standards using technically and economically feasible processes.
3. Reliability
☐ Long-term supply reliability evaluated
The source should remain available during seasonal fluctuations, drought periods, and changing environmental conditions.
4. Treatment Requirements
☐ Treatment complexity assessed
Required treatment processes should be evaluated regarding investment costs, operating costs, and technical complexity.
5. Source Protection
☐ Protection measures feasible
The source should be protectable against contamination and environmental impacts over the long term.
6. Infrastructure Requirements
☐ Infrastructure needs evaluated
Required wells, intakes, treatment facilities, reservoirs, and pipelines should be technically feasible and economically reasonable.
7. Operational Requirements
☐ Operation and maintenance requirements assessed
The selected source should match the available technical expertise, staffing, and maintenance capabilities.
8. Overall Feasibility
☐ Most suitable water source selected
Technical, economic, environmental, and operational factors have been compared and the most appropriate source has been chosen.
Das würde die 5. Checkliste sehr sauber abrunden und entspricht auch dem Aufbau deiner späteren Module, die meistens 5 Checklisten enthalten.
