FEP 18.1.10 Water management schemes

Water is a valuable resource and water management schemes provide increased control over its distribution and availability in the environment through construction of dams, barrages, canalisation, pumping stations and pipelines. These schemes may affect the groundwater infiltration, groundwater transport, groundwater exfiltration points, its dilution and its subsequent movement through the environment. It is assumed that such schemes would not significantly alter the critical exposure pathways.
