Abstract
Environmental impacts of water development projects are becoming a major problem to water managers. Environmentalists have caused such projects to be delayed and even cancelled after considerable time and effort have been expended. A set of principles to incorporate environmental considerations into water management decisions is suggested. These principles are then applied via consultations and an impact analysis consisting of three parts: identification of environmental units, assessment of the environmental base and assessment of the environmental impacts.Keywords
