Abstract

The present report (Phase I) contains three parts.

Volume I covers a conceptual framework for environmental impact assessment of the Doon Valley, a description of present environmental conditions and past trends in the region, and a comprehensive work program and recommendations for Phase II of the project. To a great extent, Volume I summarizes the main findings of Phase I of the Project, reserving the presentation of details for the two other volumes.

Volume II is devoted to computer-oriented results of Phase I, including a data bank. The potential users should be equipped with elementary computer knowledge: this volume contains tools (more accurately, the instructions on how to use them) but not any final results.

Volume III contains a collection of contributed papers which were presented at the Advisory Committee Meeting (March 1986, IIASA) and some proposals on future activities made by participants of this meeting. Some of the papers are rather general but the majority of them are devoted to specific aspects of the environmental assessment of the Doon Valley and supplement Volume I.
