Environmental Impact Assessment of the Water Management Strategy

In the following a preliminary assessment of main environmental impacts due to a possible implementation of the proposed water management strategy in polder 43/2A is presented. Undoubtedly this matter will have to be considered in more detail at a later stage preceding implementation. In general the impact assessment data have been used from the survey on selected areas by the researcher. The survey data of the Integrated Planning for Sustainable Water Management (IPSWAM) programme on environmental assessment (related one only) have also been used as a criterion of qualitative judgement. The discussion and interviews between the Agency professionals and different stakeholders in polder 43/2A have been used to judge the weights of the impacts.
