Planning Purposes 2 Sample Clauses

Planning Purposes 2. 4.1.1.Water Resources Planning Water resources planning data requirements tend to be more general in nature than for flood management or for other purposes. Typically for water resources planning, sensors are required to be placed across an entire region, rather than at specific facilities or project locations. For example, rain gauges that aid in water resources management tend to be evenly distributed across all drainage basins in a region, whereas flood forecasting rain gauges tend to be centered on populated areas. For water resources planning, it is necessary to collect the following types of data. Analysis of Water Resources The quantity of water supplies The quantity of water demands The quality of water for human consumption and use The quality of water for environmental uses Water Resources Monitoring Meteorology - Precipitation ■ ▫ ▫ ▫ - Evaporation ■ □ ▫ ▫ Surface Water Water levels - Streams ■ □ ▫ ▫ - Lakes and Reservoirs ■ ▫ ▫ ▫ - Estuaries and Wetlands ■ □ ▫ ▫ Discharge/Flow - Streams ■ ▫ ▫ □ Groundwater - Water level ■ ▫ ▫ ▫ - Flow Rates □ ▫ ▫ ▫ - Geologic Data and Well Logs □ ▫ □ □ Water Use - Domestic and Municipal Uses ▫ ■ ▫ ▫ - Agriculture and Irrigation Water Uses ▫ ■ ▫ ▫ - Industrial Uses ▫ ■ ▫ ▫ - Recreational Uses ▫ ■ ▫ ▫ - Environmental Uses ▫ ■ ▫ ▫ Water Quality Sampling Surface Water - Streams Lakes and Reservoirs ▫ ▫ ■ ■ - Estuaries and Wetlands ▫ ▫ □ ■ - Oceans and Beaches ▫ ▫ □ ■ Sampling Groundwater ▫ ▫ ■ □ Sampling Precipitation ▫ ▫ ▫ ■ Note: ■ - Essential Water Resources Data Need □ - Supplementary Water Resources Data Need ▫ - n/a
