Summary of Project
(Proposed Plan of the Preliminary Study Team)
[Overall Goal]
Utilize water resources adequately in the Eastern
Region susceptible to the effects of climate change.
[ Project Purpose]
Improve the ability of INRH (including GEIPI and
GEARH) to exploit and manage groundwater.
Indicators
• To execute periodic and ongoing studies on the availability of
groundwater in the eastern provinces of the country. (Applied
within the 3 provinces as a minimum)
• An alternative source of water is assured when faced with
drought in the eastern provinces of the country. (Applied
within the 3 provinces as a minimum, and the ratio is reduced
between the number of inhabitants and the coverage of piped
potable water, for which 2007 will be taken as the base
number)
• Problems are dealt with, such as groundwater development
possibilities in the target area of the Project, and published.
• The results of analysis and management of groundwater by
mathematical models and GIS database are published in the
GEARH annual report.
• The results of analysis and management of groundwater
realized through mathematical models and GIS databases are
reflected in the INRH Annual Report.

Dept. of Watersheds to manage and evaluate
subterranean hydraulic resources utilizing the
result of mathematical model and GIS provided
by GEIPI.
5. Technology related to groundwater development
and management (including geophysical
prospecting and GIS), will be transferred to
GEIPI technical personnel at the national level.
• Elaborate and modify training texts
• Create technical personnel able to carry out electrical
(tomography) and electromagnetic prospecting(5 people)
• Disclose the results of geophysical prospecting at the training
site
• Elaborate training texts

mathematical models (5 people)
• Groundwater mathematical models are constructed at the
training site based on the acquired methodology.
• Hydro-geological maps of greater precision are drawn up than
those existing at the training site.
• Training texts are elaborated
• Create technical personnel able to construct GIS related to
water resources.(5 people)
• Output maps are elaborated at sites where GIS is constructed.
• Two or more training courses are realized directed to GEARH
and INRH Dept. of Watersheds technical personnel dedicated
to groundwater management, within the Training Program
organized by INRH.
• Of the total participants in the training course (approx. 45
people), 90% pass the knowledge-level exam at the end of the
course.
• Two or more training courses are realized directed to technical
personnel dedicated to groundwater development and
management within the training program organized by INRH.
